Thanks for sharing those with us.

That is one heck of a 25hz transformer on the 555-5 chassis!

How about that. Until now I did not know the muses had names. When I saw "Thalia" I first thought of Thalia Menninger, a character in the first two seasons of Dobie Gillis played by Tuesday Weld.

Speaking of Dobie Gillis -

there is Kalliopa, Klio, Melpomena, Terpsihora.....fogot others. The lates one is responsible for dancing.
Not sure I spelled them correct - I transliterated from Russian versions.

With Melpomena it was easy as the phrase "a server of Melpomene" was used for theater actors as a metonymy. Somehow it was used for all actors, not just tragic ones. And Talia was not.
