Similarly on the guitar, you can isolate different harmonics of the fundamental tone by touching your fingers over the 12th, 7th, 5th, and 4th frets (to name the main ones) while plucking the string. These frets correspond to 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 the string lengths.

UPDATE: Just found out that, at least in the case of piano, positioning the hammer at ~1/7 string length has another specific purpose: To suppress the 7th harmonic resonance, which is significantly out of tune with the equal tempered scale.

My VCR blinks 1200 1200 1200... When this blinking is set to a 3/4 beat with a metronome, and the vcr is placed 1/10th of a cubit from the coffee maker, and one taps with your little finger on the table next to the vcr, my wife will walk over to me and tell me to take out the trash... !!?? Incredible, but true..

ROFLMAO! Thanks, Mikey, I needed that!!
