All this talk about what Steve is saying on Numbers made me think of two 
instances where I have realised maybe I *do* need my ears cleaned out. ; )

It's really easy to get Steve's lyrics messed up. I think there's still a 
page on Shadow Cabinet where there are misheard lyrics - they're quite funny. 
However, now I'm just hearing people say completely different things that 
what they're really saying.

Example # 1: Last night, I was talking to Cathy/Beebster - she was at a hotel 
with a phone with a shitty connection and I was on a cell phone so that could 
have been it. Anyway, she said she met a woman at a concert who said she 
walked with a cane. I thought Cathy said "I met a woman who worked with a 
king." And for the longest time I kept trying to figure out what king she 
could have worked for.

Example # 2: I asked my students the other day who built the Ishtar Gate. A 
student correctly said "The Neo-Babylonians." I thought he said "Neil 
Diamond."

Hell, it really makes us laugh and I did have my hearing checked last year. 
They said everything was fine, but I'm starting to doubt it.
