	9:53am Caryn: In the pre-TV era, they'd occasionally have ventriloquists on the radio. I suspect some ventriloquists slacked off when they knew they could not be seen... (Of course, on the shows with live studio audiences, they still had to bring it.)

	10:34am MD: Man Ray...eat your heat out!!!!
	10:34am joe: HA I thought the black around the edges of the screen was just because of video ratio until I saw the birds feathers go over it.

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.
