muscolo

Foghorn, from Italian mus- (Greek 'mus-ic' ) colo (Latin 'neck'). Originally an instrument made from the neck and lungs of a bull, operated by two men, each applying their full weight to a lung. The resulting expulsion of air through the neck caused a powerful low-frequency tone that could be heard for many miles and carried especially well over water. The 'muscolo' required strong support and was usually affixed amidship to the main mast. Recharging was difficult as each 'muscolier' took turns inflating the lungs by exhaling back into the neck. Commonly found on Adriatic ship traffic until the 4th century AD, when they began to be replaced by mechanically driven ram horns.

Tales of the muscolo and its legendary muscoliers survive to this day in many southern Italian folk songs.

musicology

The study of the history of music, but having no relationship to music itself. It is usually studied at the graduate level by inept performers and anal-retentive, sexually-repressed, multi-lingual, shutins. It is an equivalent discipline to Art History, except for the fact that you will never see a musicology show on PBS, nor will you ever see a musicologist interviewed on television. Musicology is the study of boring, obscure facts tangentially related to the lives and works of (mostly unknown) composers in the Western European high-cultural tradition.

1. Music is to musicology as science is to Scientology.

2. Musicology Ph.D. student: "Did you know that Joseph Matthias Kracher was on friendly terms with Michael Haydn?"
Intelligent Human: "Big fucking deal! Who cares?"
Musicology Ph.D. student: "Well, Kracher wrote two settings of the 'Te Deum.' What have you done to contribute to the advancement of Western Civilization?"
Intelligent Human (grabbing student's throat and choking him to death): "This!"
Musicology Ph.D. student: "Gakkkkqq!!!"
