Tool fan Yaz (yazkuge@hotmail.com) found a 2001 interview with Maynard in the Japanese magazine "Buzz" where MJK stated for the first time in public that the track "Mantra" is the sound of him squeezing one of his Siamese cats. The cat made such a weird noise that he immediately recorded this, played it real slow and made a track out of it.
Now, go read this article on reordering the Lateralus album. You'll see the reordered list is: 6,7,5,8,4,9,13,1,12,2,11,3,10
8 is Ticks and Leeches and 4 is Mantra. The last line of Ticks and Leeches is "I hope you choke". Go figure...
