*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>

** (speculation) Mike Doughty's Smofe + Smang was recorded in Minneapolis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flGYBnPKBtY), and sped up 55% creates an interesting bass tom effect the same pitch of Ace of Base's Dr. Sun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnXMbkGFkkU). The background vocal loops are a little more clear too: "Do you really believe in Free Speech" maybe? Speeding the track up 3855% creates a woodpecker shortwave broadcast jammer too (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGxEnnzrwmc).

*** 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).

*** "Split Your Infinities" sounds like the Conet Project's "tcp d3 2 iran iraq jamming efficacy testting irdial" (http://archive.org/download/ird059/tcp_d3_02_iran_iraq_jamming_efficacy_testting_irdial.mp3). If you split+flip the algorithm, a 5538% speed up (of the whole TH album) gives a little melody that sounds like "If you go out in the woods today..." [00:50], but is also the Wizard of Oz's "With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'/You could be another Lincoln/If you only had a brain..." Also, [00:46-00:50] sounds like the arpeggiations on "Split Your Infinities".
