According to Bulfinch's Mythology, Syrinx (Greek Óõñéãî) was a nymph and a follower of Artemis, known for her chastity. Pursued by the amorous Greek god Pan, she ran to the river's edge and beseeched succor from the river nymphs. In answer, she was transformed into hollow water reeds that made a haunting sound when the god's frustrated breath blew across them. Pan cut the reeds to fashion the first set of pan pipes, which were thence forth known as syrinx. The word 'syringe' orignated from this word.
Syrinx in popular culture
The Canadian rock band Rush wrote "The Temples of Syrinx", part of their twenty-minute epic track, 2112. The name is ironic because the Priests of the Temples in the dystopian society depicted in the lyrics are opposed to music and advocate the destruction of musical instruments.
In the song "10001110101" by Clutch, The Temple of Syrinx is said to be having the bake sale of the year.

Get the Syrus mug.Something like a college
Where you supposedly gain knowledge
A beautiful campus set in a bad city
The time and place to get extremely shitty
Now the people are of their own
And their wealth is very much shown
Frat boys drinking all over the yard
Girls running their daddy's credit card
Known for basketball and the Dome
Expensive cars and rockin the chrome
BMW, porche, benz and audi
These japs know how to fucking party
Look for the uggs in the snow
Cause the bar scene is always a go
Faegans if you're official
Lucy's for the superficial
Head to Chucks--it's the sports bar
Then walk to Harry's cause its not far
Cross the street, Darwins for some shots
and if all else fails, Maggies is the one for the tots
Aside from the drinking watch out for the drugs,
The campus food and girls giving out fake hugs
Be aware that it will snow and rain
But when the sun comes out you’ll go flip flop insane
If you’re a freshman don’t carry the orange lanyards
If you’re a sophomore yell FRESHMEN outta your cars
If you’re a junior you’re probably abroad overseas
And if you’re a senior live it up, please!
Senior Sundays
Chillin Mondays
Tuesday box of wine (bring the loot)
Wednesday, rock paper scissor…shoot
Thirsty Thurs, the weekend starts no doubt
Themed party on Fri… yep another blackout
Sat? Lots to do then
After that…start the cycle over again.
Work as hard or as little as you please
But be prepared to explain those C’s
Newhouse for communications
Greek houses for crazy initiations
Fake sun at Garbo’s upstairs
Sit out at Starbucks on the chairs
J.Michaels for the latest styles
Marshall Street: all smiles
All colleges seem somewhat the same
After all it’s one big game
Tell the parents you’re studying and staying in
Hang up the phone, let the fun begin
However Cuse is unlike any other, just so grand
But unless you go here… you just.. wouldn’t.. understand.

Get the maple syrup mug.One of the many forms of torture used by the Canadian government in the interrogation and punishment of prisoners. Syrupboarding (called "maple syrup torture" in the 16th century and used to test the witchiness of witches) involves holding a person down in a vat of 100% pure Canadian maple syrup. The syrup makes it impossible to breathe and the person feels as if they are about to drown; simultaneously, the thick, viscous sweet fluid constantly bombarding their senses slowly brings them to gustatorial ecstasy. In the end, the prisoner experiences wildly contradictory feelings of panic and bliss, thus freaking them out to the extent that they will do just about anything to avoid more delicious, delicious torture.
