1234.0. "The Wizard of Oz" by SUBPAC::TSULLIVAN () Fri Apr 04 1997 17:06


          Well, I did a DIR/TITLE= for this but to my surprise it did not come
          up. 
          People who love the Wizard and Pink Floyd will love this!

          Anyway, this week on WZLX (Boston radio station) they have been
          saying if you play Pink Floyd's "Darkside of the Moon" and turn the 
          volume off on the "Wizard of Oz" the two synchronize into something
          really neat!  What you have to do is start the Wizard on your VCR
          and when the MGM lion roars on the third roar press start on
          your CD player.  Don't know if Pink Floyd had setup this up to
          work this way all those years ago or it's just happened that way.

1234.1Even better - play it backwards with "Return to Oz"THEBAY::WIEGLEBLast day is May 2. Thanks to all.Fri Apr 04 1997 18:3311
    Ehhhmmm.  This announcement didn't happen to get made on this past 
    Tuesday this, did it?  You might want to check your calendar before 
    you try this at home.  It sounds like the perfect April Fool's gag.
    
    There were a number of people caught by some radio announcement that if
    you watched the sky at noon last Tuesday through green soda bottles you
    would be able to see a collision between the Hale-Bopp comet and the
    "Lirpa 1" asteroid.  There was a great photo in the newspaper of a group 
    of gullible souls who got bagged on this one.

1234.2Could have been hosed, you never know!SUBPAC::TSULLIVANSat Apr 05 1997 10:2316
        Actually they talked about this on Monday morning but...you never 
        know!  They also had a couple of people call in and said that they
        thought it was a bunch of hooey, they tired it, and it worked.
    
        Also I should clarify myself.  Start the CD in continuous from 
        Side 1 Track 1. on Leo's third roar.
     
        I'm going to try it.  I already have both movie and CD so it 
        wouldn't be any big deal anyway.  Haven't seen the Wizard in 
        awhile.  Next rainy(snowy, yeecck) day.  
        
        If it works, I'll post it.
    
        See if I have been had! 8^)
