the wall: intermission part II
As we embark upon the second half of intermission, let's pick ourselves up, dust the fleas from our bathrobe, cast our minds aback, and reflect on what we've pretended to learn so far:
Some years ago the band Pink Floyd made a record which historians nowadays usually refer to as "The Wall" and which is generally considered to be the greatest work of art of the second Millennium following the birth of Christ.
Most modern scientists agree that The Wall's majesty was surpassed only by the previous three records of the same band. Also, Dirty Mind by Prince.

You: Hey Sabitathica, let's play Who's Your Favourite Member of Pink Floyd?
Sabitathica: No, I'm busy. Plus let's not rush things. Also, some other people might not want to play.
You: So what? Who cares about them?
Sabitathica: I don't like them.
You: If they go away will you play Who's Your Favourite Member of Pink Floyd?
Sabitathica: No, that's stupid. They're all equally brilliant. Except for Roger, who was more equally brilliant than the other three.
You: That doesn't make any --
Sabitathica: Okay I'll play. Let's meet our contestants.
