The 'Im to lazy to research it so here is an idea' thread

Well, this thread is for what I just stated in the title. Ill start off by saying this:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Is there a storyline connection between his life and the plot of Big O, or is he only sharing the name with the android? Im far to lazy to read the life of Mozart, but hopefully someone will go and research it.

UH - well they both got depressed. I'll try wikipedia and report back if I see anything double-quick.

Well, if the movie Amadeus is correct, then Mozart was tricked by Salieri into attempting to write the perfect song, or something of the sort. The effort strained him of his livelihood, and he died. I suppose Geisang could be compared to Salieri, Instro to Mozart (Rather than Amadeus, as Amadeus was the old man who built Instro), though it isn't all that strong of a connection. Salieri wanted Mozart out of the picture so his work would be regarded best, while Geisang wanted to use Instro to destroy Paradigm Corp because they wouldn't fund his research.
