Quote from They Might Be Giants

[Joe Varo]

The other day someone posted something in which they quoted the following
from They Might Be Giants:

     Particle man, particle man
     Doing the things a particle can
     What's he like?  It's not important
     Particle man

     Person man, person man
     Hit on the head with a frying pan
     Who came up with person man?
     Degraded man, person man

To whomever it was that posted that, I just thought that you might like to
know that I just picked up a book which uses those exact lines as its
epigraph.  Weird bit of coincidence there...never before had I seen those
lines, now I've seen them twice in as many days.

The book is: _As_She_Climbed_Across_The_Table_, by Jonathan Lethem.

Just started it, so I can't tell you yet if it's any good.
