This thread itself seems to be taking on the character of an earworm or 'maggot' in any of several of its senses: it goes on and on, round and round, on and on, round and round; whimsical, eccentric, strange, or perverse; like an ear worm; particularly insistent; 'burrows into your brain' and can't be forgotten; it does make one wonder; it is rather like the irish Planxty; worms its way into the memory and won't be forgotten, however much you try; it is "A whimsey or a flight of fancy"; it is (was) a fancy, as an idea or whim or even a hallucination; it makes all the sence in the world to me; it is "a fantastic notion or caprice"; it is a composition of an impromptu nature; it was whipped out one day without much effort or editing; it is all fascinating; it goes around and around and is very difficult to end; it is a whim one cant get away from; it is is worming its way into my head; it has many a whimsical idea; WILL NOT LEAVE YOUR BRAIN....a week later you are still humming it .....

(Yes, as a matter of fact, I DO have better things to do ... !).
