I had an elementary student around 20 years ago. Both parents were medical doctors, and each parent had a parent with a Nobel prize.

His answer: The energy in sound waves is not always heard, even if a person is present. And the energy in sound waves affects all matter, not just our eardrums."

Trust me, his answer made a lot more sense.

This is a variant of a Zeno paradox. Drop one grain of millet and you hear no sound, but drop thousands of grains...

There is Passover song about a goat named Chad, called "Chad Gadya". It didn't end well for the goat.

This thread is fun, and educational.

I would have thought they could have just gotten a goat and some rope and actually done it.

Goats have a rough time with Jewish holidays. The Yom Kippur tradition is the source of the term "scapegoat".

You said rope. And I'm pretty sure this new gif feature has anything you could possibly search for! I love it.

You have no idea how bored I am right now. I brushed my cats with catnip, and watched them chase each other around the house. That killed about 15 minutes. Then I swapped a few usernames to see if they notice. Now. Nothing.

Hahaha. We've met before but you wouldn't remember it. I saw you walking into XL one day and said hello and you shook my hand and both my nephew's hands when I told them who you were.. Never mentioned I was a Yarder. We need to hang out some time. I just spent a good 10 minutes trying to see the dirtiest thing I could get Alexa to say during a Gold Rush commercial break.

Im trying to get them to rename it the XXL in my honor.
 
Somewhat off topic in an already off topic thread (can I get a ruling Nan? is that even allowed by BY rules...also I just had a lower case "by" followed immediately by an upper case "BY," can I get a ruling on that as well?) but I was just looking at the thread title and I couldn't figure out if the word was "infamous" or "imfamous" so I had to google it. Undoubtedly related to my dyslexia, maybe like a third cousin or something. What are some of the symptoms of "scrambled brain syndrome" others suffer?

Also, you may want to replace "Somewhat" with "Way" at the beginning of the thread.

Oh... I just figured you had dropped a goat before so you knew it made a sound.

Whoa, you need to stop piling on, CL. Sure the guy was probably into that "goat dropping" craze that was going around a couple of decades ago. And yes, it wouldn't surprise me if he recorded the noise it made and played it at family gatherings. Like you didn't, right?
