 When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A
                
   couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the
                   
   cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area
                  
   where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got
                
   the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave
     
   and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the
                  
   grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.
              

   When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave,
                  
   listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes,that's Beethovens's
               
   Ninth Symphony,being played backwards."He listened a while
                  
   longer and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards,
          
   too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's
             
   the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."
                                   

   Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the
                
   magistrate.  He stood up and announced to the crowd that had
                
   gathered in the cemetery,"My fellow citizens,there's nothing
                
   to worry about.  It's just Beethoven decomposing."higher-fire@prairienet.org
