      Yes. We need more bell ringing. One forgets that bells were originally blessed and exorcised to defeat spirits of the air. Maybe that's part of what's gone wrong in society; the lack of blessed bells ringing every 15 minutes.

      After watching twelve solid hours of him being a genius, I couldn't form a coherent thought which would sufficiently express my admiration for his ideas. All I could think of was bells, celebrating. So I searched youtube until I found this. Thank you, TehWinnerz, for reminding me. And, by the way, the bells seem even more appropriate now that I've heard him telling the "Story of My Wife". Have you seen this clip?

      As salaam aliekum
      This is English change ringing, it dates back to the 1600s.
      Initially it started off as a call to attend church.
      However church bell ringing has now turned into almost a secular hobby.
      It is very mathematical based on every single change being unique.
      It is something anyone can do
      For what its worth, the muslim azan is beautiful especially when you understand its meaning.
      We must thank Bilal the disciple of the prophet for the azan, first called in a medina.
