Hi Cal,
Is your hungry duck in Al's pond?
Besides, everyone knows you can't see the forest for the trees.

Hey that one's easy. Pressure difference in the air still occur but sound as such only exists inside the brain of a person or animal that is there to pick up those pressure differences.

I thought so too but when I mentioned that it took a pressure wave and an ear to complete the equation on another forum, someone posted a definition that didn't include the ear part. Hence the Websters reference.
Again it comes down to the definition of the words used but I think most people would hold to the definition requiring ears and a brain.
Karmic retribution. 🙁
I was at one of our other offices on Wednesday and I asked the IT support team the question about the plane.
Big mistake 🙁
I spent about an hour arguing with them about it… They can all grasp the concept of the rollerskater on the travellator and all that but are all convinced the plane won’t take off…
Anyway, my boss found out and I had him on the phone for ½ hour today – he doesn’t think the plane will take off either 😀 Cue loads of emails flying backwards and forwards trying to explain the model to them all afternoon… I’m exhausted – I haven’t had to think so much at work for years 😀

Hi quickshift,
At least we don't need to argue whether Karma exists or not. You proved it.
I'm in IT too, there is no way I'd bring this topic up there - ever. So you baked yourself! 😀
I do feel for you. You just released the human mind virus in your own IT shop.

hehehehe I'm in IT too (well when I choose to be working 😉 ) hmmmm Bashornman too, I wonder how many more of us that were participating here in this thread from hell were IT people 😉 maybe that explains a bit!!!

😀 I know, only myself to blame 😀
I tried to divert them with the question about the plane full of birds but that didn't work. 🙁
I can't wait for the rest of the place to hear about it.

Maybe it's a karmic virus type question for IT people for all the time IT people spend telling users not to open suspicious email attachments or download stuff of the internet 😀

Tony.
😀 Christmas bonus!
Every year, the only Christmas bonus I have is possibly still having a job in the new year 😉 😀
Actually - there is normally a question on the end of the IT bulletin that goes out to all staff - I can see this question making it on there....
I'm going to be in so much trouble...
I'll be explaining it for the rest of my life...

hehehe I'm going to the Christmas party of the company I used to work at tonight.... maybe I should introduce the question to the Engineering dept
I wouldn't do it to my IT mates 😉

I thought I would get a decent discussion from the IT lot... The rest of the place is lawyers - there is no way I'd tell one of them - put one lawyer in a room and they'll start an arguement with themselves 😀
Engineering people would probably like the question... probably... 😀

I'm an engineer and I rue the day I read this post........

Personally, I think giving the question to a pack of lawyers is the perfect solution to that problem. They'd probably end up suing the airlines. 
Wouldn't you like the peace and quiet quickshift?
And Tony, you truly are evil!
