red sky in the morning - shepherd's warning.
red sky in the afternoon - shepherd stoned.

Actually, didn't someone do research into this many years ago?

The theory being that air vibration oscillates the hairs on the paintbrush as the paint is being applied. A bit like a record needle.

I think they claimed to have found the sound of Rubens's wife calling him for his dinner. Seriously!

Was she saying "sausages"?

No. She was saying "Peeeeeter" - cos that was his name.

Ah! Yes! I remember OMNI - was a great magazine. I used to buy it at Paddington station to read on my regular trips down to Cardiff.

I will be sure to check for skulking cybermen under the bogeybed.
