Elephants, we can hear the higher noises they make, but most of the times the noises the make are far too low pitched for us humans to hear.

Hey, that sounded sensible to me, what do you think you're doing talking avout sensible things in this thread

I was going to say what Yorrick said. Sound is scientific. You have sound regardless of whether there is someone around to hear it. Hearing is a reaction to sound not a cause of.

Talthyr Malkaviel · 02-17-2002, 02:58 PM

Sensible, oh why that must have been because the vastly speckled bird of kangaroo dropping hue who presides over all, influencing them into sensiblilty was hypnotising me with random vibes of sensibleness, rather than my usual splendiferously strange ways.

I have to refer to Sigmar's comment on serious things in this thread. There aren't any.

Therefore my comment was a joke. Sorry if it seemed a little too grounded in, admittedly extremely dodgy, science. But I swear it wasn't serious Yorick!

I think Barry was confusing 'Sound' with 'Hearing'.

Hearing is to sight what sound is to light.

Must be another 'vastly speckled kangaroo dropping hue bird of sensibility' case.
