Oh, Prof. Purkinje: you tried so hard to enlighten me, and I remain such a nerd. To this very day.
Note to self: No Red Bull after lunchtime. Ever.

Ms. Attila: Here's a guaranteed method to go to sleep, which worked on me every time I needed it. I bought a book on the economics of the Weimar Republic of Germany in the early 1920's. Read it. Guarantee you won't be awake after five pages. I never finished the FIRST chapter. Book was worth every dime.
zzzzzzzzzzzz

It was Max Headroom in that Art of Noise song... now what the heck was it called?
Nice to know I'm not the only person in the world filling up crucial mental space with obscure trivia.

Ah! It was 'Paranoimia'. Thank you, Google and Wikipedia. Where would I be without being able to instantly answer almost any question of fact?

Paranomia. As I recall, they recorded it without Max, and then added him later. Supposedly there are tons of versions of that thing out there.
It spoke to insomniacs

I don't remember the exact title, but ANY book on the Weimar Republic's economics would do the trick. Or, just go whole hog and get a copy of the Congressional Record from any year. Line-for-line verbiage from the floor of Congress will but the most sleep-deprived into a coma in a heartbeat.
