Let's untangle this a bit: In the sequence - which correlates with the 'Golden Ratio,' a pattern that appears throughout nature - each number equals the sum of the previous two. A badass factoid that many Tool fans regard with Biblical importance, some of the lyrics from 'Lateralus,' if charted syllabically, follow the numeric pattern of Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa's famed Fibonacci Sequence One imposter track was reportedly called 'Prove It,' which turned out to be Chevelle's 'Prove to You.'ДҐ. Tool fans and other pranksters helped the spread of Lateralus disinformation before the album releaseД«ack in the Wild West days of Napster leaks, numerous fake tracks circulated online - to the point where fan sites were forced to play referee.

During the infamous recording, the caller claims to be a former employee of Area 51 and panics audibly that his message is being '.' According to legend, the satellite carrying the feed died during the broadcast, and someone claiming to be the caller later admitted that he fabricated the tale.
