I love the mix of giggling/wtf/and incredulity from the other gamers:

"Did you just read that out of a book?"

"You'ave been asked this question before I guess"

Great extemporization, but I find it kind of sad that this is worthy of posting and discussion. "Extra! Extra! Man can express a concept clearly and soundly off the top off his head... in other words, is not an idiot! Read all about it!" This level of articulation should be the norm, not some amazing occurence.

Upvote as it amused me so. I loved the straight forward answer. Of course I probably would have come back with a "but how do we know it moves air to make a sound? It gets to the old Quantum Physics Double Slit Experiment, and Schrödinger's cat, the very act of observing may be changing the results."


What a shitty comeback. It has nothing to do with that. Sound waves in the air is not a quantum phenomenon. Hence Schrodinger's cat and the double-slit experiment don't apply.

I don't think the amazing part is someone being smart. I think the amazing thing is someone rattling that off playing TF2. When I play TF2 all I see is red and the word KILL keeps repeating itself in my head.>> ^budzos:

Actually, I'm more amazed he wasn't inundated with pre-pubescent screams of "FAGGOT!" "OMFG! YOU ARE SUX" "GEHY!" "FUCKING IDGIT N****R FAGGOT GHEY FUCK FAGGOT!" That's pretty much all I get out of TF2 pubbing.

Should be, yes. Unfortunately, we're crude primates commandeered to sapience by some fluke of evolution, and most of us aren't particularly bright. While you can't (rationally) hold that against people, you must at least face up to it.
