are you saying we should be working instead of posting ?

Is working "something better to do"?

zelda_pinwheel · 02-17-2009, 08:37 AM

doesn't that depend on your definition of work ?

Seabound · 02-17-2009, 08:45 AM

Was I mistaken, or do you say what you mean? And what becomes of the broken-hearted?

If a tree falls crashing to the ground, but no one is near by, does the crash make a sound?

Donnageddon · 02-17-2009, 12:45 PM

Can you define "sound"?

GeoffC · 02-17-2009, 12:52 PM

Is sound the lack of silence?

Donnageddon · 02-17-2009, 01:17 PM

Or is sound the neurological interpretation of the biomechanical response to rapid changes in localized air pressure?

GeoffC · 02-17-2009, 01:21 PM

Is sound only that which is picked up by the auditory canal, or can it be picked up vibratorialy?

Donnageddon · 02-17-2009, 03:55 PM

Haven't people who have attended My Bloody Valentine concerts reported that sound can be felt vibratorially? And later report that it is now the only way they can experience sound?

I just had to look this up.

So............what exactly was turned into mush? Your heart and lungs? Poor baby.

"In mammals, the thorax is the region of the body formed by the sternum, the thoracic vertebrae and the ribs. It extends from the neck to the diaphragm, and does not include the upper limbs. The heart and the lungs reside in the thoracic cavity, as well as many blood vessels. The inner organs are protected by the rib cage and the sternum."

Why on Earth am I reading all this? Have I got a chronic case of procrastination?
