Quaristice title - number 9 connection

This is probably jazzband but I couldn't find it so I just had to share.

The suffix -stice means a space, right? At least according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Jest#The_Enfield_Tennis_Academy (that book is funny but fucking hard to read btw)

I was in a training session at work this week and the trainer drew a grid on a whiteboard and for some reason I was thinking about those optical illusions where the "ghosts" appear between the squares. Then I thought, if you had 9 squares, there would be 4 "ghosts", or square spaces. Thus 4 spaces = quari - stice. The stupid "artwork" that came with it makes so much more sense now... and the theme of the album makes more sense!

An illustration for those of you who are slow like me (Xs represent, uh, "-stice"s):

If this is jazzband, feel free to link & Picard me :)

interesting......

no doubt you'll get Picard'd, though!

On the plus side, this made me remember how much I like Simmm.

Music is math.
