A girl playing trivia one night rolled the dice and landed on the Science category. Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"

She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?" :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

oh man thats funny. great way to start off a busy monday morning. but in case anyone is interested, sound doesnt travel through a vacuum because sound is the vibration of matter. when there are no molecules present (liquid, gas, solid), theres nothing for the waves to bounce off of.
