Today's Thought
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

If you sit around doing nothing all day, how do you know when you're done?

Re: Today's Thought
In order for something to be a sound, it needs a vibration, and a receiver. So, if the tree falls and there's nobody around to hear it, then no, it doesn't make a sound.turkeyham wrote:If a tree falls in a forest, would anyone hear it?

Re: Today's Thought
But the word nobody implies that there are no people there, there could still be animals around and they would be the receivers of the sound. Now, because there are usually animals in a forest I will have to go with it does make a sound, unless you can prove that no animals were there.hhsrat wrote:In order for something to be a sound, it needs a vibration, and a receiver.

Not to mention that other plants are able to receive vibrations.
