Norwegian Wood was written by Lennon, so I assume sung by him.

It appears that the locks on the Panama canal are to allow ships to traverse waterways that are above sea level on both sides. If you don't care about the Panama canal itself and just about Atlantic vs. Pacific--I can't tell from the sources I looked at. The first one below mentions that the Pacific has more significant tidal variation than the Atlantic, though.

Aww, cute! They're having a sleepover! I hope it doesn't break out in one giant pillowfight.

Well, except the VG-88 isn't THAT cheap... $1000 when I bought it. Throw in a Les Paul with a hex pickup and you might be hitting $4500 anyway.

Ah for the days when I made $90K.

Huh, cool. Hex pickups might be a cheap way to get the auto-tuning guitar I've always wanted...

I don't know if you get automagic reports when somebody posts here--if not, dunno if you'll ever see this--but I forgot to check back on previous posts comments, so I missed when you said a nice thing about Font of Wisdom and 32768NO, so here's the response...

32768NO was just an amazing discovery that all three 5-digit powers of two worked in standard tuning. (Of course, had they not, maybe I'd have tried an altered tuning.)

On the electric guitar side of the fence, I use a Roland VG-88, which is a supposedly-physical-modelling processor that processes each string separately (through a guitar synth pickup), so one of the things it can do is pitch shift each string independently. I'm usually in too much of a hurry on AADs to do any programming, though, so I just use whatever's there, and I haven't been much of an "experiment with altered tunings" person generally (although in part that's because it's horribly confusing if you can still hear the (normally-tuned) string acoustically when you play it, which I can at reasonable volumes, so I'd have to wear headphones for it to work--and in part because when I'm not recording I usually just play on the electric without turning anything on.)

"March/April Time" on "Suggest a Title 2" uses a factory patch which is tuned down by two whole steps (called "capo -4"), and two other of my AAD songs used the VG-88 to tune down an octave, but that's the extent that I've done anything with it. I guess I should program a bunch of new patches in advance of my next AAD.

I like ginko because they never get past yellow-colored, so you don't have that strange green-orange color leaves sometimes get.

I like the photo of the ginko "stinky" leaves. Ginkos are an odd looking tree with cool looking leaves.
