What’s all this [lebmmu]?
Was reading Joseph Mitchell on the train. Writing about voodoo practitioners in NYC, he uses the phrase “mumble jumble” instead of “mumbo jumbo”. Archaic usage? Alternate usage? Or actual etymology?

The Ghost in the Machine
I would like to retrofit a player piano or other sheet roll music playing machine to project synchronized filmstrips of an original format – say 80mm. Projection speed will probably run about .5 – 1 fps, so it will look more like a slideshow than a movie, but it will still be cooler than anything else ever.
