I just farted. It's real to me. And OH YEA - IT EXISTS!!! For the moment anyway. However to you it's a non issue - but if you were right here - it would be an issue of the highest regard.

This is one of those questions fun to ponder - like sound.

Sound is waves, that we put together and interpret in our ears.

So the old question, if a tree falls in a forest and there is nothing there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Color is the same thing, people see shades differently. Blue is the hardest one to accomplish a unity on.

Anyway - I'll shut up and keep reading.

Thanks for sharing that first paragraph Spock.
I think that the fact that there are multiple replies on here from many different people, says that many things exist out of your mind and ours.

yes

example: if you send a sound into space...and it takes a million years to reach the ears of the aliens.....when was the sound made?

i would say that the sound was made a million years ago.

defining the moment of creation.....adds credence to the theory that what was created actually exists.

spock your wife called and she wants you to stop farting in the living room (no matter how philosophical the fart was).

on that note if a fart was farted and no one was there to smell it would it still make a smell bad.....of course it would.....but not mine (mine smell like cinnamon bunz)

If Helen Keller fell in the forest, would she make a sound?

(dang it, you young whipper-snappers probably don't even know who Helen Keller was...)

Q. How did Helen Keller burn the shit out of her fingers?

A. She tried to read a waffle iron...

Hellen Keller would not make a sound! She would make a sound wave.

WHAT!

Missed the point? Okay

MEP - Let me break it down for ya. You must have just exhaled a huge hit.

Hellen Keller is inside.

Knock Knock (umm, someone knocks on the door).

Hellen Keller is inside.

End of joke - the knock knock joke goes no further.

Hellen Keller is just sitting there oblivious to the fact that someone is knock-knocking.

That's the joke!!!

HARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
