That's legitimate, Sharon, same thing happened in the Lincolns thread. (And a similar thing happened earlier in this thread with the allusions to crossings of streams.) Speaking of which I see the movie of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy just opened, and one of the major characters (by the standards of majority that apply in this case) is an alien researcher named "Ford Prefect". I can't watch the trailer because I have to upgrade my MediaPlayer and I'm afraid the upgrade may leave it unable to read MIDIs (I've seen a couple of computers with upgraded MediaPlayers that did great on movies but couldn't play a simple melody). Anyhow, the movie's signature piece is a bunch of dolphins singing "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish". I do plan to see the movie; whether before or after Madison I haven't decided yet. Do we have a thread about hydroplane songs? I knew a parody of the Titanic based on the sinking of the Miss Exide in the mid-60s, but I doubt if I can reconstruct it now.
