Never trust a man in a blue trench coat
Never drive a car when you're dead

Word to the wise, courtesy of Tom Waits.

I remember one day back in art school, my prof made us all wear blindfolds and listen to music through headphones. We were supposed to sit on this giant piece of paper on the floor and use charcoal to, ahem, "draw the music." I obediently scribbled away like a Special Ed student for half an hour, listening to some classical music, mostly trying not to get charcoal all over myself and my classmates. When the prof finally let us stop, I took off my blindfold, looked at my "art" and said, "Hey, what do you know? Music looks like crap."

This is why I dropped out of art school.
