An interesting fact about the numbering of Mozart symphonies Login/Join

The last of Mozart’s symphonies is #41, but there are only 40 Mozart symphonies. Why? Because symphony #37 was eventually discovered to have been a Michael Haydn symphony, with its first movement replaced with one by Mozart. Symphony #37 was then removed from the catalog of Mozart symphonies, but the numbering of later Mozart symphonies wasn’t revised.

Very interesting. Here's one for you. People with higher incomes generally prefer their toilet paper to come over the roll, while those with lower incomes prefer it to go under. In a 1989 book, Barry Sinrod and Mel Poretz revealed that 60% of people making more than $50,000 a year preferred the toilet paper to come over the roll, while 73% of those making under $20,000 preferred it to go under.

So what other interesting facts are out there?

So that's why I'm poor, it's the way I get my toilet paper. From now on, it's over the top for me.

The rich folks are correct. The original patent for the toilet paper roll shows the designer's intended "over" positioning:

I don't remember, in recent memory, a hard turn like this thread. I found the Mozart info somewhat interesting, but the hard turn makes me realize my wife wants to be poor.

Well, I actually thought the thread would turn into a series of bizarre but somewhat interesting (depending upon your point of view) random facts. There wasn't much to say about the original post. But the thread seems to have gotten stuck in the toilet.

I've noticed that the over/under toilet paper installation also seems to be a male v. female thing. Any time any female I know replaces a roll, they have it coming from under. Most guys I know have it coming over.

Just weird observations. Smile

If someone suggests you don't know squat, politely educate them with your new knowledge:
quote:
Wikipedia Link:
The squat effect is the hydrodynamic phenomenon by which a vessel moving quickly through shallow water creates an area of lowered pressure that causes the ship to be closer to the seabed than would otherwise be expected. This phenomenon is caused when water that should normally flow under the hull encounters resistance due to the close proximity of the hull to the seabed. Leonardo's law causes the water to move faster in water level (where section is smaller); according to Bernoulli's principle, the increasing velocity causes low pressure, such that the ship is pulled down. Squat effect from a combination of vertical sinkage and a change of trim may cause the vessel to dip towards the stern or towards the bow.[1]

Squat effect is approximately proportional to the square of the speed of the ship. Thus, by reducing speed by half, the squat effect is reduced by a factor of four.[2] Squat effect is usually felt more when the depth/draft ratio is less than four[2] or when sailing close to a bank. It can lead to unexpected groundings and handling difficulties.

It was a cause of the 7 August 1992 grounding of the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) off Cuttyhunk Island, near Martha's Vineyard. The liner's speed at the time was 24 knots (12 m/s) and the draft was 32 feet (9.8 m). The rock upon which the vessel grounded was an uncharted shoal later determined to be 34.5 feet (10.5 m), which should have given her room to spare, were it not for the "squat effect."[3] U.S. National Transportation Safety Board investigators found that the QE2's officers significantly underestimated the amount the increase in speed would increase the ship's squat. The officers allowed for 2 feet (0.61 m) of squat in their calculations, but the NTSB concluded that squat at that speed and depth would have been between 4.5 and 8 feet (1.4 and 2.4 m).[4]

Squat is also mentioned as a factor in the collision of the bulk carriers Tecam Sea and Federal Fuji in the port of Sorel, Quebec, in April 2000.[1]

The third largest cruise ship in the world, MS Oasis of the Seas, used this effect to obtain an extra margin of clearance between the vessel and the Great Belt bridge, Denmark, 1 November 2009, on a voyage from the shipyard in Turku, Finland to Florida, USA.[5] The new cruise liner passed under the bridge at 20 knots (37 km/h) in the shallow channel, giving the ship extra clearance due to a 30 cm squat.

There's a story about Mahler and his 9th symphony which may or may not be true.

Mahler was working on his 9th symphony when he got to thinking. Beethoven 9th symphony-dead. Schubert 9th symphony-dead. Bruckner 9th symphony-dead. Dvořák 9th symphony-dead. My wife, Alma, is trying to fuck every male on Manhattan Island and I've got a bad heart. I ain't stupid; I just won't have a 9th symphony, I'll call this one my 10th one. After a year or so, he decided that it was a confusing and dumb thing to do, so he renumbered the 10th to the 9th. Mahler-dead.

Further DuckDuckGoing into confusion of Mozart with Michael Haydn turned up this:

A model for Mozart? Michael Haydn’s Requiem

And further exploration of this website makes it appear to be JUST WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR:
A refuge from “hot” topics and fake news, a haven for conservatives who like to at least dip into music, art, literature, and philosophy.

Here’s the home page of The Imaginative Conservative.

Thank you Pipe Smoker, you have no idea how much you have contributed to my peace of mind and soul.

So, was Mozart an over or under man?

And I thank you, S. J. That is indeed an interesting web site.

BTW, I’m going to try to find “Mozart’s” symphony #37. The first movement is Mozart’s, and I frequently find that I enjoy his first movements the best.

And I did find #37 (AKA KV 444), on YouTube:

Quite good, including Michael’s part. Mozart clearly thought Michael’s symphony #25 to be a good one.

I concur. I always considered it a gender thing. Not a socio-economic thing. My TP goes over and every woman I knew was under. Go figure.

So far we have 2 threads under one thread heading and both of them appear to deal with movements.

See above.
