Orphan date September 2009 Also known as The Minister Who Falls Apart and The Disintegrating Minister, this was a surreal humor surreal British comedy sketch . Though it was heard on radio in 1966 with John Cleese in the role of the interviewer , it is probably best known in the version performed by Tim Brooke Taylor and Graham Chapman in the later 1960s on television, in At Last the 1948 Show .

for the album by Fischer Z Word Salad album Word salad is a mixture of random words that, while arranged in phrases that appear to give them meaning, actually carry no significance. The words may or may not be grammatically correct, but the meaning is hopelessly confused. A famous example is Noam Chomsky s phrase, Colorless green ideas sleep furiously . The term is used to describe poetry and other literary works as in Chomsky s example , but is also often used to describe a symptom of mental disorders or textual randomization in computer programs. In mental health diagnoses Word salad may describe a symptom of mental conditions in which a person attempts to communicate an idea, but random words come out instead. Often, the person is unaware that he or she did not make sense.

The recording begins with the Storm portion of the overture, played frenetically, with the band accompanied by barking dogs and clanging objects of various kinds. The progression is brought to a sudden end with the Bang of one of the famous guns in Jones s unique percussion section. The Call to the Cows begins with normal instruments and artificial bird chirps. The next part is played on pots and pans and bicycle horns, each one in perfect tune, followed by a crash. Finally, the melody is rendered by gargling, concluding with a gulp. The Finale, a.k.a. the Cavalry Charge, is played on the normal instruments of a big band , mostly as an underscore to the commentary of Doodles Weaver , who is describing a horserace.

It is simply a reference to the flat back or spine of the unsharpened edge. Cavalry armed with a sword carried them either slung from the waist or attached to the saddle, as common sense and a little practice demonstrates that wearing the blade down the back would make the weapon very difficult to draw, and could at worst lead to a very nasty cut or the loss of an ear. Backswords were also carried by some infantrymen, including irregulars like the Highland Scots , who likewise wore them slung from the hip, most often in an across the shoulder baldric or sword belt.

File Electric Bell animation.gif thumb How an interrupter type electric bell works An electric bell is a mechanical bell instrument bell that functions by means of an electromagnet . When an electric current is applied, it produces a repetitive buzzing or clanging sound. Electric bells have been widely used at level crossing railroad crossings , in telephone s, fire alarm fire and burglar alarm s, as school bell s, doorbell s, and alarms in industrial plants, but they are now being widely replaced with electronic sounders. Interrupter bells See the animation above right. The bell or gong B , which is often in the shape of a cup or half sphere, is struck by a spring loaded arm with a metal ball on the end called a clapper A , actuated by an electromagnet E . In its rest position the clapper is held away from the bell a short distance by its springy arm. When an electric current is passed through the winding of the electromagnet it creates a magnetic field that attracts the iron arm of the clapper, pulling it over to give the bell a tap. This opens a pair of electrical contact s T attached to the clapper arm, interrupting the current to the electromagnet. The magnetic field of the electromagnet collapses, and the clapper springs away from the bell. This closes the contacts again, allowing the current to flow to the electromagnet again, so the magnet pulls the clapper over to strike the bell again. This cycle repeats rapidly, many times per second, resulting in a continuous ringing. ref name Allsop90 Frederick Charles Allsop Practical electric bell fitting a treatise on the fitting up and maintenance of electric bells and all the necessary apparatus Author E. & F.
