GRAVY is delighted to leave you to draw any conclusions you like about this
one. Confirmations are welcome from you music scholars in the crowd.

The genius in the advertising dept. at Microsoft has done it this time.
Anybody seen the IE ads on TV lately? The one with a very effective choral
music playing in the background?
Well, the background music is the Confutatis Maledictis from Mozart's
Requiem (Mass for the dead).
And the words of the final blast of music which accompanies "Where do you
want to go today?" are saying, "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus
addictis...," which means, "The damned and accused are convicted to the
flames of Hell."

It ain't so much the things you don't know that get you
in trouble. It's the things you know that just ain't so.
-- Artimus Ward, 1834-1867
