Default In Rainbows Golden Section
As Penny pointed out in

http://www.mortigitempo.com/too_bore...ad.php?t=67000

the album title can be heard in the backing vocals of Reckoner.

BUT, did anyone notice the

IN RAAAAAAAIN
IN RAAAAAAAIN
IN RAAAAAAAINNNNN IN RAAAAAAAIN
IN RAAAAAAAINBOWS

starts precisely at the albums golden section??? I've got fucking chills; can anyone concur?

The Golden Section, Golden Ratio, whatever you want to call it is appears at 1/1.618, or about 61.8% of a way through of a work of art. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

In Rainbows is 42m 34s, or 2554 seconds long. 2554/1.618 is the 1578th or so second of the album, which is 2m49s into Reckoner, precisely when the strings come in with the album title.

I can't believe that is coincidental...can anyone confirm?

of course i also believe that gorbachev's birthmark on his head is the shape of the Meshech-Tubal region mentioned in Ezekiel

There's also a 43m 43s Donald Duck educational video about mathematics which focuses on Pythagoras and the Golden Ratio which syncs up perfectly with In Rainbows.

awesome. It scares me to think of what I miss whenever I don't listen to an album in its entirety.
