It started to play at midnight on 1 January 2000, and if all       goes as planned, it will continue without repetition until 31 December       2999.              I got to this after looking up John Cage's "As Slow as Possible".              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slow_as_Possible              Which is, apparently, only the second longest piece of music.                     --              Qualified immunity = virtual impunity.              Tim Merrigan              --       This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software.       www.avg.com              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
