Re: Sinister: Berkely or Berkely
me the perfect occasion to ask what the deal with Berkely is. Why is it that Berkely the college is pronounced Berkly, while Berkely the philosopher is pronounced Barkly? Then there is the Magnetic Fields
Maybe it's because it's spelled differently ? http://www.berkeley.edu/ This remind me of the time I was driving to see my buddy in Berkeley and I was bored so I picked up two German hitchikers who were heading towards San Francisco. I told them that I wasn't heading there, but they could take the BART over from Berkeley to SF rather easily... Anyroad, so we had a nice two hour chat in my car about Germany and lots of things. The one I remembered most was when one of the hitchiker was telling me about American television in Germany. He told me of this t.v. show about a family who were all yellow. I kept thinking does he mean an Asian family ? Turned out he's talking about the Simpsons. Random thought: I just saw Death Cab For Cutie, so now I'm smelling like beer and cigarettes. I'm going to be missing Doves on Sunday, shame, I had a ticket to that sold-out show. (I'm not really that cool, I go to these shows with my friend who is cool, I'm just tagging along... and I'm not a teenage dirtbag either.) vu +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

They're spelled the same. Just pronounced differently.
