have you notice?

This track has exactly 38 seconds long, like 36&2. Because 46&2 is refering to chromossomes dna and stuff, maybe the title of this song "Useful idiot", is like a dude with only 38 cromossomes, that hasn't realize that the vynil has ended, a idiot. Still, it's useful because in order to reach this present state of evolution (44&2) we had to pass his phase. So, Useful Idiot is a song about our previous state of evolution (most of the plants have 38 chromossomes,and it's one of the inicial life form), and 46&2 it's our next step of evolution.

Agree or i'm going to deep?

House cats have 38 chromosomes. Maybe Tool doesn't like cats.

Re: have you notice?

nice way of looking at it my friend. Keep up the thought processes, and dont let other people tell you what to think. To deep? You could go deeper...

Re: have you notice?

If someone was missing 8 chromosomes, they wouldn't be useful and they would be much worse than an idiot.

Useful idiot is a term that Lenin used when talking about Communist sympathizers in the West.

True. But i think the term is used soley because the track has no meaning other than to join two tracks together i.e useful 'cause thats what it does idiot 'cause it has no meaning. thats what i always think anyways.

I have no fucking clue what the song's about. I'm not even sure if it's about anything, I think it's just experimental.

Re: have you notice?

it was a joke on the vinyl. if the person playing wasnt paying attention to the actual tracklisting would think that the side was over and turn over the record, causeing them to miss 46+2.
