Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 22, 2012

He’s going to notice that his granola bar is gone…

Who was the guy on Saturday Night Live that did Mr. Subliminal Man?

exoticdoc, A vibration makes a sound, no matter who is around. Is it “heard”? Are we talking about just humans? There are woodland critters every where….They have ears….If I hear a rim shot in my head, did I actually hear it? Did it really happen?

Are memories of dreams different from real life memories?…Other than the fact they’re probably cheaper….

Frazz prolly keeps a footlocker full of granola bars and such for hungry kids…

The definition of sound requires vibrations from a transmitter, a transmitting medium and auditory stimulation. Without someone/something to hear the vibrating medium there is no sound. Without a transmitting medium (as in a vacuum) there is no sound even with a sender and a receiver.

well played, well played indeed

There was a young man who said “GodMust find it exceedingly oddTo think that the treeShould continue to beWhen there’s no one about in the quad.”

Reply:“Dear Sir: Your astonishment’s odd;I am always about in the quad.And that’s why the treeWill continue to beSince observed by, Yours faithfully, God.”

Confession is good for the soul, especially if the offended party happens to miss it.

The original question was: If a man is talking in the forest and there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?!!!

I like the planted message there. As others have said, well done.

For those of you who don’t already know, the Schroedinger’s Cat thought experiment has a hidden cat (in a box), and the cat’s life or death depends on the state of a subatomic particle. It’s the “random event” of the particle changing state (by radioactive decay, etc.) that determines the cat’s fate. Look at the Wikipedia article.

What an ingenious tactic. I will have to try it :)
