A broken bow across a long-lost violin

Dear brain. Rumors of devil's bargains and the legend that an angel foretold his talent to his mother before he was born notwithstanding, it is not helpful to dream that Niccolò Paganini was the Phantom of the Opera. For starters, the timeframe is completely wrong. Also, crackfic.

Speaking of which, though:

I'm going to tell you a little story that I think you might find apropos. One day, a god named Zeus looked down upon the people of Earth from Olympos and thought, "I will turn myself into a bull." Then, as a bull, he went down amongst the humans and fucked a spider. And that is why, today, we have coconuts.

I love The Daily Show.

I've never even heard of a Scorpion Bowl.

Lucky you. You've probably heard them sloshing around inside frat boys out on the street after midnight.

Do you really think Paganini is a sticky-drink kind of person?

Do you really think Zeus is an arachnid-fucking kind of God?
