Philisophical question

[Si]

will you stop with these woolly answers and come to the point!

[Charlie]

Last time I fell off my bike high inthe Welsh hills it didn't make a sound, on account of it being embedded in a dead sheep

[Geoffrey Palmer]

Slam in the Lamb!

Stop bleating will you!

[ThomasDylan]

I wonder if Freud's philosophical discussions ever degenerated so badly

[Charlie]

Si, Have you tried doing the "Bealach Na Baa" yet?

[reohn2]

I wonder if Freud's philosophical discussions ever degenerated so badly

Only if he stopped thinking about his mother.

Baa I can't get to sleep.

And did Simon's feet in these times

Pootle upon the Welsh mountains green?

And was the holy Lamb of God

Skewered on his handlebars, seen?

[Simon L6]

thankyou, one and all. This has brightened an otherwise cheerless day.

[ThomasDylan]

A lamberick

His attempt at a wheelie a flop,
Si dallied a dead sheep atop,
He started to eat
The putrid, old meat
And shouted, "I'll save you a chop!"

Last time I fell off my bike high inthe Welsh hills it didn't make a sound, on account of it being embedded in a dead sheep

Could it have been avoided?
I suppose it was mint to be.

the wife Lamblasted me for being so Pensive
she accused me of being half a sh[l]eep and to joint in on the flock of puns. I'm always looking on the Sales and wants for baagains

A Psychling fillossifer our Dai,
Who'd been asking himself 'Would I
Fall to the ground
With an audible sound?'
Thought 'Oh, that's sheep **** I'd rather not try.'

It depends on the definition of "sound". The bike hitting the tarmac will create energy in the form of sound waves. If those sound waves do not then trigger the aural sensory system of a sentient being, then I don't think it becomes a sound, merely energy that is expended in other ways.

Rather a scientific answer to a philosophical question, but best I can do

But what about the photons emitted from a match after it is rubbed on sandpaper?Are thy only light if they go in someones eyes? sorry, I mean enter the ocular system of a sentient being?

I give up? Will they?

Probably not.

My friend from Newport, an existentialist bricklayer and the worlds foremost expert on empty landscapes, said the answer lies in the proportions of sand and cement.
