This thread is for the more intelligent, any intelligent thoughts can be posted here by the more intelligent amongst us.
The thread is dedicated to bosley (bos) who only wants the more intelligent thoughts posted here.

I think the caption should be "Any Essex girls here? I'm on the pull"

Are you sure David Essex has any daughters Al?

pp's interpretation of cusp

The transitionary point perhaps, on the cusp of something means, it nearer than near but not actually happened yet, but it will in a very short space of time :

I've got to examine this a bit more.
So. if something is "on the cusp of hearing" does that mean;
a) You can hear a sound that hasn't actually happened yet, but will very soon, or
b) You can hear a sound, just before ears have been invented.

Whatever the answer, WOW.

BTW. Speaking of a very short space of time (and remember time is something humans invented to stop everything happening at once), the shortest time interval known to man is the "Central London Second".
This is measured as the amount of time between traffic lights in central London turning green and the black cab behind you blowing its horn.
Here we encounter a paradox.
If you turn your car stereo up full blast, then the cabs horn will be on the cusp of hearing, therefore you will hear it slightly before it is blown, ie in a shorter time frame than allowed for by the "Central london Second". This breaks the laws of Physics. Therefore you must never hear it, in which case the "Central London Second" is dragged on for infinity, and time ceases.
The lesson is that turning your car stereo on too loudly in central London will result in either a breakdown in physical laws and the end of the universe, or getting a black cabs wheel brace wrapped around your ear.
Interesting.

Alan,

"on the cusp of hearing" ?? I thought cusps were part of your teeth, not your ears.

If I'm wrong, now I at least know why I've always hated going to the dentist.

Wearing a shirt like that automatically disqualifies one from this thread.
