*MrMessiah on Twoism posted a link to a old VHS clip where the word "eleven" is said to sound similar to the sample in the song.<ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=211327#211327 </ref>. This same Twoism member cut up the sample and played it through a sampler, giving something that sounds quite similar to the lyrics in the song.<ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=211367#211367 </ref>

* The book The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base might be the reason for the "Eleven" sample, and Base's other book, "The Waterhole," is a story about an African waterhole drying up. Each page has a frieze with animals that can be found disguised somewhere in the drawings, such as in foliage. I remember discussing myths that each page had a dodo bird somewhere in it?<ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=229814#229814</ref>

** I'm also getting vibes that this song could be about Jonathan Marks's book "What it Means to be 98% Chimpanzee: Apes, People, and their Genes," because of the jungle imagery, the pun "high water marks," and 1+1 = 2% less than 100%. Marks's book claims bisexuality isn't genetic, so it's bizarre Univ. of California Press would even have it printed. What may be coincidental is that the book "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" by Daniel Dennett has an Henri Rousseau painting for its cover that is jungle-y and has a dodo-like bird ("The Snake Charmer," 1907).

** Chinese Ink painting "Bamboo" by Su Tung-P'o (1037-1101). The bamboo  looks a lot like a hemp leaf's steam, and the foliage sort of outlines a silvery caterpillar shape, much like dodos in Base's work. I think Su Tung-P'o is mourning the boiling alive of caterpillars for silk, when the Chinese could just be using hemp for clothing. <br>
