Friday's Question of the Week 8 Jan 10
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, can we still blame it on the otters?

No, the otters have a rock-solid alibi! And shame on you for victimizing them!

It depends. Which direction was the tree pointing after it fell?

Of course we can. We can blame anything on them that we want to!

Let's form a commission to investigate, send out teams of forensic tree specialists, collect samples and evidence from the surrounding area, interview all the other forest animals who, by definition , can quite rightly claim they didn't hear a thing, write a report, publish it, print it, convert it to ePub, add DRM, remove the DRM, copy it, lose it, find it, file for later review, and then toss the whole case out when the otters present the alibi that omk3 mentioned.

At which point we'll need to find some other poor, fuzzy, scapegoat.

No, that would be the beavers (and not the "Leave it to" kind). Much scarier than otters. You should never hire them as contractors either.

Yeah, you’ll think Photoshop until the day a dog chews down all of your trees. Photoshop—huh! That’s what dogs want you to think!

No. They love the chance to sue for deformation of character and use squirrels as lawyers.
