A while back, I read an interview with Christopher Guest (of Spinal Tap), and apparently he got so fed up with rock stars coming up to him, nudging him in the ribs and saying ``I've had an amplifier made which goes up to eleven! Haha!'' that he had one built which goes up to infinity - the volume knob just goes round and round and doesn't do anything.
(It was in the same interview that I learned that he's actually a peer of the realm - he inherited the title of Baron Haden-Guest from his father, and sat in the House of Lords for about a year until most of the hereditary peers were removed. He says his title has never been much of a benefit to him, although his wife says she finds it easier to get restaurant table reservations as Lady Haden-Guest than as plain old Jamie Lee Curtis.)
