"...in the Bible, the mysterious riddle written by a hand on the wall at Belshazzar’s feast. These Aramaic words may be translated literally as, 'It has been counted and counted, weighed and divided.' Daniel interpreted this to mean that the king’s deeds had been weighed and found deficient and that his kingdom would therefore be divided." So sayeth the Columbia Encyclopedia.

I always read that as "frampton nappa vendetta"

A vendetta against Frampton I could understand and support.

but Frampton's distaste for California wines is untenable.

I think Missy should put talking guitars in her next song.
