I play pipe organ. I've spent the last 20 years learning to play BWV 565 
from memory. I can also play one or two of the preludes from WTC. And I 
keep having these delusions about learning BWV 541.

although sometimes I wish it was a bit more colourful.

As I understand it, Gödel's theorem just says that everything is 
impossible. That doesn't sound especially interesting.
