I don’t know about the Headcase, but [the Exapno’s way off](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3454/3368428791_45348f67f8.jpg). You need to think like Harpo. Not everybody can do that. 😛 ---

Harpo! I should have known. :smack: In that case (head or map, your pick), perhaps “харпо неадкс” would be more appropriate. I am not sure how one would actually pronounce that, though. Neadks? Neadix? Throatwarbler mangrove? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-was-elmwood-band/532449.md?page=2)
