I still remember the "melody" the thing emitted.

It was sort of hypnotic to me, though it annoyed the hell out of
everbody around me. g The basic rythym went something like:

da-di-dah, di-da-da-da-dah. da-da-di-dah, da-di-di-dah--di-di-dah-dah.

Hm. That doesn't sound at all like the tune that's been going through my
head ever since this thread started.

Mine was more like


da-da-da-da-da-daaaa-da-da-da-da-daaaa-da-da-da-da-daaaa-daaaa-da-da-
| | | | | | | | |


daaaa-da-da-daaaa-da
| | | |


where each "|" beneath symbolizes a sharp, short click in the sound.
There was a pause about the length of three of the long "daaaa" notes,
and it repeated.
