@ nightspore: after all of the I1 innuendo thing happened, I sent you a couple of e-mails and I got worried when you did not reply to the second one. Maybe I was harsh and too insolent, sorry about that.
@ lars: you said the best thing here... Be grateful this is not as common as it used to be. Well, maybe you're not old enough to remember the Beatles-linked Paul is Dead urban legend, which I'm being constantly reminded of by all this insistence on hidden symbology within Mike's work. That legend used to scare me. However, the Publius Enigma did make sense - at least for a while - and it did apparently have a solution.  It was not made public at the time exactly because of the absurdly disproportionated amount of talking that the whole thing happened to generate.
The best TBIV cover, IMHO, was made some time ago by Hans Claesson. He posted it in a thread here about a hypotetical TBIV album (I don't remember which thread exactly). It featured the Bent Bell turned 90 degrees to the left and with its long end stuck into sand, so that it really resembled a 4.  Not to mention a promotional photomontaged picture from the early 2000s, also posted here a couple of times, which featured a guy from Channel 4 producing some fours out of smoke, which really resembled Bent Bells. However, the resemblance was not intentional on Mike's side (as he did not come up with the shape) and I doubt that it was intentional on Trevor Key's side. It is a piece of art. Art doesn't have to have a meaning.
