    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Browsing wikipedia can give you some terrible mind-viruses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For instance, did you know the Scarborough Fair Collection has two Wurlitzer Theatre Organs in it? Okay they&amp;#8217;re in two different locations, but can you imagine &amp;#8220;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tqxzWdKKu8"&gt;Dueling Banjos&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8221; being performed on them?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course YouTube&amp;#8217;s not much better, and seeing Jerri Ellisworth&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG2DkjPieX8"&gt;enthusiasm for pinball machines&lt;/a&gt; makes your brain crank up. One quick sound-bite of &amp;#8220;I am.. Sinistar&amp;#8221; and I&amp;#8217;m not thinking of the original arcade game but the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtAjWQYgde4"&gt;remix by NSReynard&lt;/a&gt;, and by extension how amazing a pinball machine based around his music and Squeedge&amp;#8217;s artwork would look.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But then I start thinking of what a Wurlitzer pinball machine would look like too.&lt;/p&gt;
