Thulsa Doom

So heres a question most of you arent pondering. I know Tesla was a "scientist" (theres some debate about that) but this song always says "to the world". It reminds me heavy of a story called Delcardes's Cat by Robert Howard (eg., the creator of Conan The Barbarian) The bad person in that story if Thulsa Doom which sounds very similar to Tesla. I think there's a connection there even if no one else wants to admit.

Unless you can elaborate further on what you're referring to (for those that that have not read the book), I think you're just making a connection that doesn't necessarily exist.--JustinBoy 08:50, 4 March 2013 (EST)

Here Comes Science outtake?

A song about Tesla was slated for HCS. Has it been confirmed if it's. This or not? It seems dark for a children's song. I assume it was rewritten, or perhaps it was left off BECAUSE it was deemed too adult?

Didn't Flans tell Ella in the Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child interview they did while they were working on HCS, that he had written a song about Tesla for the album? That's easy enough to check and would be confirmation, I think. --BlueCanary 01:08, 1 March 2013 (EST)
Yes, he did say it, but that doesn't remove the possibility that the version on Nanobots is vastly different than that version. --Self Called Nowhere 01:30, 1 March 2013 (EST)
As per the tumblr, this is quite a different version from the original. --MisterMe 08:10, 4 March 2013 (EST)

Birds Fly

The line "Out of the windows birds fly" sounds suspiciously similar to "Birds fly into my windshield". Coincidence? Is it worth a mention on the Recycled Material page? --Freakiosis 02:15, 1 March 2013 (EST)

i don't think so. birds tend to fly into solid things (like windshields) and out of open things (like windows). -Apollo (colloquia!) 10:24, 1 March 2013 (EST)
I concur. One of those times when the limited number of meaningful combinations of nouns catches up with the Johns. --MisterMe 11:09, 1 March 2013 (EST)
