I wonder how many people were fortunate enough to see the episode of
'Beyond 2000' where two scientist/computer-junkie/musicians decided to
put music to the test results of a urinalysis? It seemed a bit odd that
anyone would want to play music according to the contents of one's
bodily fluids. The doctors pointed out however, that, given a well-known
peice of music and predetermined 'normal' levels for each 'normal' chemical
content, anyone could listen to the music and detect any 'abnormal' tones
resulting from 'abnormal' quantities of any given chemical.
The demonstration was fairly convincing. The fault ... what if a doctor
is paritally tonedeaf?
Then ended the show by playing a portion of Beethoven's sixth movement.
:)
Sorry. The joke was so bad I couldn't resist spreading it.
