Never more than two hours at a time. Plus I'm on the West Coast and have no life. B)

For all you young'uns:

If you play the Beatles song "I am the Walrus" backwards it says "Turn Me on, Dead Man", which fueled the rumor that Paul McCartney was dead, killed in a car accident and replaced by a look-alike.

Here is one of many links chronicling the whole conspiracy.

Actually the "Turn me on Dead Man" is heard when playing "Revolution #9" (from the Beatles "White Album")backwards. Other sounds that can be heard are the sound of a car accident and what appears to be music from a funeral and people crying. ;)
(I must have played that piece backwards a thousand times when I was a teen)

Of course. You're right. Thanks for the clarification. My recollections from those days are a little distorted. :P

I would check that out except it just sounds...creepy. Damn creepy. Although to be honest, playing lots of music backwards (and a good number of songs forwards) could sound like a train or car wreck :P
