Silliness Question Everything? - Page 330

Do you snore?

pdurrant · 03-15-2015, 01:53 PM

Doesn't everyone?

doubleshuffle · 03-15-2015, 02:43 PM

If someone snores while nobody is listening: is their snoring really being snored?

Solitaire1 · 03-15-2015, 03:19 PM

Is that related to the question of a tree falling in the forest?

doubleshuffle · 03-15-2015, 03:56 PM

Wouldn't it be nice to know the answer?

pdurrant · 03-15-2015, 06:16 PM

And what is the sound of one hand clapping?

eschwartz · 03-15-2015, 06:17 PM

Didn't Terry Pratchett already answer that?

Isn't it "cl"?

pdurrant · 03-15-2015, 06:18 PM

Or is it "ap"?

eschwartz · 03-15-2015, 06:19 PM

Do you remember Terry saying it was "ap"?

doubleshuffle · 03-16-2015, 02:03 AM

Was pdurrant thinking of the other hand?

eschwartz · 03-16-2015, 02:13 AM

Isn't it still the same sound regardless of which hand you clap with?

doubleshuffle · 03-16-2015, 02:26 AM

Is it the same sound regardless if it is your hand or my hand, your right hand or pdurrant's left paw?

eschwartz · 03-16-2015, 02:32 AM

Shouldn't they all sound the same, with the possible exception of a paw?

doubleshuffle · 03-16-2015, 02:37 AM

Every two-handed clap has an active and a receiving, a yin and a yang hand, so wouldn't a one-handed clap sound different depending on whether it is the yin or the yang hand clapping?

eschwartz · 03-16-2015, 02:48 AM

Firstly, why must that be true, surely if you clap with both hands by definition they must meet in the middle?

Second, even if that were true, would a "yin" clap really sound different from a "yang" clap?
