"perhaps tea bags II could be called ""progress through science: tea tablets""... but, no... the new thread needs to start with a post by one Michael Carey (note that his name is Michael... perhaps Mike's sister's name is Lucy, his mother Elaine and his two cat were named was Loki and Mr. Sigmund.

Another satisfactory ending would be the words Beethoven scrawled on the margin of the four movement of his final work, Opus 135: ""Must it Be? Yes, it must!"""
