Great, I flogged the link, and posted on the BDBB.
Gorey,
when in second year university, I was staying at Warrane College, run by a group called "Opus Dei" (we referred to them as "the Oddies")
I had a big old stereo in my room, and maiden pics all over the walls.
Was at dinner one night, and one of the Oddies was raving about Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, which he was studying. I told him that my vavourite band had turned it into a song, and seeing an opportunity to "get through" to me, he suggested that we discuss the poem and the song that night after "coffee club".
No probs.
So I set up candles all round the room, turned the lights of, and waited.
He was a bit off put by the candles and Eddie. Even moreso when he heard the song.
"That's heavy metal, isn't it ?'
"yep"
"do you know what can happen if you listen to heavy metal ?"
"not all of it, but my stereo has been doing wierd stuff lately." Turned up the volume, and put the tape player on "play" with no tape in it.
There was a steady "boom-boom.....boom-boom" just like a heartbeat coming from the speakers.
He bolted.
Fucker didn't realise that we were line of sight to the Sydney Airport, and the "beats" corresponded exactly to the rotation of the radar dishes.
Got asked to leave not long after (for different reasons)
(BTW, my Chemistry tutor used it in English also)
