(Pick one or more of the above list) I don't think selection "(c)" has much validity. I told this hypothesis to Peter Morris of Homeground before the official word about lip-synching came out. Peter Morris seems to have latched on to my original hypothesis, but I can see no evidence for it in retrospect. The only reason I ever had this hypothesis was because I couldn't think of any other possible reason. The real lip-synching reason is just too ludicrous for my completely rational mind to have come up with. |>oug "X is for XERXES devoured by mice"
