Interesting article in today's business section of the Australian where Michael West reports that whenever Pink Floyd releases a new record, the stock market takes a dive.

Saucerful of Secrets released, Dow Jones slumps by 6%

More released, and another slump.

Ummagumma released, and another slump.

Dark Side of the Moon released, the Dow hits a 12 year low.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason released, six weeks later, Black Monday (the October '87 crash)

The Wall Libe was released, and the Nasdaq collapsed.

Apparently 12 times Pink Floyd has released an album, and 12 times, the stock market has taken a dive.

The stock market may slump, but street sales of micro-dot acid, nitrous, shrooms and huffable aerosols soar. Go figure.

Maybe Pink Floyd are secretly controlling the world....;)
