surely a bellwether, like a good child, should be shorn, and not herd!

Weather or knot it's belle, it's certainly obscene!

Apparently it was Groucho Marx who said 'Women should be obscene and not heard'. Personally, I am only willing to comply with half of that request!

(tsuwm, if a thread's run its course, must be time to take it off-course !!!)

I think the Chinese, at one time, made bells (or perhaps chimes) from stone.

This reminds me of the lithophone, an instrument I think is probably both the most amazing and the least documented of all instruments: pictures here: http://images.google.com/images?q=lithophone. More like chimes, but wouldn't you love to own one?
