    hehe... talkin' of throat-singing... I also have tried throat-singing. A
Mongol friend of mine says I have done some really odd things that sounds  -
to him - like a Maori trying to do "Klingon opera", Mongol-Style. LOL high
praise IMHO...
    I throat-sing in the shower and also when I am at my computer... (I also
make high-pitched, vowel-heavy Pikachu-like, primate-alien chatter-gibberish
as well... mostly when hyper or giddy and also at my computer...  sometimes I
alternate throat-singing and the chatter-gibberish => almost like 2 aliens
doing a duet... or arguing... [I imagine my neighbors think I am certifiably
insane ;) ].
