The coolest instrument in the world ever invented in the history of time ever. A box with an antennae on top, and a loop out the side. The antennae controls the pitch, the loop controls the volume. How is it played you ask? Movement of your hands within the fields of these wire outsprings.
Damn, the theremin is the coolest.

It was used in the day the earth stood still and other movies.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
Mate: How are you?
Dumped: I'm a hungry ghost, man.

Mate: What'd ya do last night?
HG: Urg. I hungry ghosted around The Oxford for a few hours, then walked home past her house, and HIS car was there...

Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

The greatest musical instrument since the probe, according to the Red Guy (from I.M.Weasel - I Are Music Man). With its antenna and its loop, you can play it in high-pitch and loud volume, and even cause an earthquake. Used since the old film has been founded.

A spooky electrical instrument that is played without coming into physical contact with the instrument. Invented by and named after Leon Theremin, a Russian/Soviet chad.
The Theremin is an eerie-sounding instrument, strangely played without touching the instrument itself. It's perfect for a spooky song.
