[kj] Pyramid Myth

[Christof hamille]

You can't really argue where inspiration comes from.  Sometimes it isn't 
tactful or polite.  Or logical for that matter.  Everyone gets hit with it 
in deifferent ways.  Tom Waits found inspiration in his bathroom while 
cleaning up.  Recorded it there on the spot (so the story goes).
