Speaking of trees...
I must have been 11 or 12 when I first heard the original, "If a tree falls in the woods and there is nobody there to hear it, does it still make a sound?" question. I was 12, trained in physics, and irritatingly clueless.
Young NobodysHome: Of course it does! What a stupid question!
Questioner: But how do you know?
YNH: Because it's still going to move through the air. It's still going to cause disturbances. Sound is nothing more than compression waves traveling through a medium, and the falling tree will necessarily generate such waves.
Q: But what if nobody's there to hear it?
YNH: What? Are you trying to argue that the laws of physics go out the window just because nobody's there? So like, "When I leave my room, how do I know my stuff doesn't start levitating around because gravity stops working?" That's a pretty stupid question.
Q: But what exactly is sound?
YNH: I told you; it's compression waves through a medium. And they don't just go away because no one is there. Give me a few minutes and I can come up with an experiment where we could prove this...
Needless to say, I was not subjected to any more philosophical questions, though I took great glee in watching others suffer through things like, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" and whatnot that were so popular in the 1970s.

I usually had the same reaction to these type of questions.

If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is there to see it, does it really fall?
What universe are we talking about? This one or three over? I can't answer about this one, but in the one three over I might be able to.

Apparently, bladed brushes are hard to figure out.
You paint with this end. Stab with the other.
Paint. Stab. Paint. Stab.
How hard is that!

It turns out, it's a feat and a jumping off point to argue about jumping over a ten foot pit in dim light while carrying a spoon with an egg in your off hand with a buckler strapped to your arm ("But which hand is the off hand!!!!").

The sound of one hand clapping is dependent on how hard you clap, how limp your fingers are, how floppy your wrist is, and whether or not there is someone there to hear it.
What is the sound of a single wind chime chiming?

Current game list.
- GURPS campaign based off Demons' Souls, dark fantasy in a world fading in the midst of eerie events. I'll be playing a druid of sorts, a devotee of a deity linked to the elements.
- Warhammer 40K Black Crusade campaign online with some friends, a ragtag bunch of heretics finding their way in the harsh worlds of the setting. Mine is a well-intentioned extremist who'd rather flip the bird at both the Emperor and the forces of Chaos.
- Online D&D 3.5e campaign, magitek setting with many nations looking to find new grounds on unexplored fronts or building up their forces. Our group is a bunch of mercenaries with a few mechs of our own, and I just happen to be the medic for one of two teams, a Cleric of a local philosophy of light.
Still busy with school and writing the first draft of a visual novel script on the side! I should try and wrap up the Carrion Crown recap before I forget everything that I didn't write down back then...

OK, John, this one's just for you:
As you may recall, here at Global Megacorporation, they implemented two-factor sign-in to access e-mail, so, amusingly enough, if you try to access your e-mail remotely, you get a screen that says, "Please enter the code you just received in e-mail."
Well, I've found something even more delightful about our IT department: We use "Single Sign-On" for all of our applications (sign in once, access all of them).
And the e-mail and file servers are the only ones protected by two-factor authentication.
Yes. I can first sign on to the support page, and then have no trouble transferring over to e-mail, because "Single Sign-On".
Leave it to Global Megacorporation to implement two-factor authentication on only SOME of its applications in a single sign-on environment.
Too hilarious!

I'm a bit stuck on making a character for Ironfang Invasion. I was going to make a cleric so Pea Bear and the General wouldn't have to worry about preparing healing spells, but they made fun of me.
So they can heal themselves.
I think I'm definitely making an elf. Beyond that I'm still not sure.
