Hah, interestingly I told my brother in law about that story you linked to. I was expecting him to be all impressed by the ingenuity of the children (making a ring tone adults can’t hear). He asked the same question: "why don’t they use the vibrate option". Bah, you adults.. =) <b>Traveller</b>: The ring tone sound yasmine pointed to is worse. I developed a head ache after hearing it. <b>Noodlez</b>: Only if you stop deleting comments. ;) Anjum: Or almost still young. Repeat after me: The glass is half full.

I'm 19. But I have TERRIBLE hearing. Actually, maybe my hearings just crap when trynta listen to low frequency sounds (e.g, talk in generally 'normal' voices..). Me ears are ringing now. Thanks.

And now I'm back and you cut out all the other bullet points and just left the part about the high frequency sound. It's almost enough to make me want to HELLA CUT YOU. SO. To comment on part of your deleted post: Did you see yesterday's Peals Before Swine comic? http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20060620.html =) I thought of you and your freakin' deleted post.

Still, the only reason i was talking about the sneakers was because i wished i could have a pair :-) so, almost old? sounds about right. sometimes i hear the pulsating buzz and sometimes it’s drowned out by the background noise. which means what – i’m almost old?
