Random Thought on Necrotesque

On a lark I put "Three blind mice. Three blind mice..." as the title text for the Necrotesque image on the archive page, as the truly, ridiculously observant of you may have already noticed. I did this months ago, when I first put that image in the Archive.

And just now, sitting here at work, did it dawn on me. Necrotesque is Three Blind Mice.

Courtesy of Wikipedia:

Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?

And the original, c.o. the same:

Three Blinde Mice,
Three Blinde Mice,
Dame Iulian,
Dame Iulian,
the Miller and his merry olde Wife,
shee scrapte her tripe licke thou the knife.

Now I don't know for sure, but I think if you re-watch (or retrospectively look back on) Necrotesque with that in mind, it makes more sense.

Thoughts?
