|
|
i got an email today with the following "interesting fact" in it:
Quote: |
"If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months, and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee." |
i don't know whether this is literally true or not (but i put the first 11 words into google and got 374,000+ results, so apparently a lot of other people find it interesting, too), but i think it still says something interesting about the general usefulness of yelling...
don't you? _________________

I find it very easy to "tune out" someone who is yelling - trying to "be heard"....I find myself "listening" to someone who is speaking to actually say something... oh...and I want my coffee a lot sooner than eight years+ !! I don't enjoy raising my voice....and usually do not find it necessary - _________________
