A few years ago on the way to a calculus class at 6:30AM (YAWN) I saw a lovely
full arch rainbow. I took my class out to look at it and noticed the secondary 
which was almost full also and just the hint of the tertiary which I had never 
seen before. I stood there marveling at the beauty, pointing out that in my 55 
years I had never seen such a perfect rainbow nor the tertiary. There 
reaction? "Can we go in now?"

Regarding Bank's, Wasp Factory and TRP, there's a punk rock band called the 
Vomits.
