Thread: If a tree falls in the forest..you're gonna hate this one.

Or, did the camera not actually "see" the tree falling, only the sound it made? In which case, there is no evidence at to what actually made the sound. It may well have been a bear, doing what bears are famous for doing in the woods....
I'm calling shenanagins on that documentary!

Trees don't actually fall at all without people there to witness them... They grow up tall and lay down to sleep. I'm calling shenanigans on you.

Seriously though. It was a forest with really wet soil and massive trees. I'm fairly certain it was on one of my HD channels.

I'm pretty sure you can also watch old Star Trek episodes on there as well, but that doesn't lend them any more credence than this other boondogle you are refering too!

How do you know I made it up? You aren't in my mind. If you weren't there to process my thinking, how do you know?

Where did I say anywhere that I alleged that you made something up?

I say that these "documentary" filmmakers made something up, if not outright fabricating evidence.

hahaha

Or another way to solve this riddle is:

IF A MAN SPEAKS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST AND THERE IS NO WOMAN AROUND TO HEAR HIM, IS HE STILL WRONG?

So did we ever get this one sorted out?

I put this question to a few women....they all said yes

if a tree falls in a forest and lands on a squirrel, and there's no one around, does the squirrel make a noise?

There is no noise without ears to sense it.
