Moderators (requests and notices)

I really didn't mean for that to be a cookie cutter for everyone on the forum, but hey, I've got your number.

Go careful, you may get late night phone calls and promises of a lift in the van.

bigtwin requested deletion, I normally look and try to ask why, but having read their posts I just got on with it.

anneparker has been banned for spamming, and all posts deleted. Very uninteresting stuff unless you want van hire in Ireland.

Another 10 or so new users were banned for spamming, though their spam never made it through to the forum... a bit like trees falling in a forest.

And you are are our tree keeper

Just as an aside, if a tree falls in a forest and no-one is there to hear it, it doesn't actually make a sound.

Sound being the combination of both the sound waves passing through the air (the noise of the fall) and the instrument for detecting the sound (the human ear).

Since the latter doesn't exist, it cannot be said that sound exists though sound waves do.

birds will hear it

...and grubs

Balki's back!

Well, at least on line... When you coming home?

...and grubs

I think grubs would more likely 'sense the vibration' than actually hear it.

Squirrels.

They would hear it.

ninjas would hear it too.

But then squirrels could'nt tell anyone.

Which takes us back to the uncertainty, of wether the tree made a sound at all.

Its probably linked to Paulies's principle, or has something to do with dead cats in boxes.

Could you not fit squids to a squirrel, then when the brain wave pattern that denotes "noise of tree falling" is generated by the squirrels brain you can say that a tree has fallen, and that noise has been reported?

ninjas would hear it too.

Ninjas would never let anyone know of their presence at the time of said tree falling.

Uncertainty.

fucking ninjas. utter bastards to a man.

Would'nt squids need water to remain alive long enough?

Balki's back!

I never went anywhere...

.

Grubs no ears?

Cant see any.

In space, nobody can see the trees

Urgh...

Urgh...

Thats like a triple whopper with cheese to Bear Grils.

Is that like strangling a mime?

Next the sound of one hand with clap?

If there is no one there, how can we know that the tree has fallen rather than been dismantled by a large band of subversive pixies?

Lfgss, helping me understand tree noises since 2011

= no trees
