But where you wearing a hat?

A hood, but it was down most of the time.
It was part of the monk's habit. :angel:

--- Quote from: HiFranc on 07 Nov 2011, 23:44 ---[1] I was at the mild end of the spectrum (and my border is around a quarter-tone or semi-tone apart). I think the most extreme test subject couldn't tell the difference between two notes 5 octaves apart.

That person wouldn't be able to tell his mother's voice from his dad's. That's just silly.

My mother's about that tone deaf. Fortunately, there's more to a person's voice than just pitch. She enjoys some music, but it's more of a rhythmic thing for her. Can't carry a tune in a bucket. There's a lso a genetic aspect to it - of her four sons, two of us are musical, and the other two are nearly as tone deaf as she is!

All I can think of is a 12 lb Canada goose, sucked into the intake...
Border Reiver:
Looking at the poll - I think that the attempted drunken makeout with Tai would be absolutely fricken hilarious

In any event, can you be condescending inside your own head? Faye is thinking, not speaking or acting in a condescending manner.

Marten really needs to just laugh at himself now. An alternative might have been to grab Padma's hands, look at her in the eyes, and spell it: "I can't dance. Teach me, please." But I think the door on that option closed, when Marten made his trip to the bar instead.
Count me in the ranks of people who can't manage it on the dance floor. I enjoy mostly the melody/harmony side of music, but have problems with the rhythm/beat. In junior high our class took a test much like the one described by HiFranc. IIRC I was still able to tell the difference between two consecutive tones, when they differed by quite a bit less than a quarter tone (2.9 per cent difference in frequency), but some classmates did much better - a violinist friend was particularly good at that. But my sense of rhythm is somewhere between so-so and pitiful. My high school flame made me try to play piano with a metronome ticking on the side. An eyeear-opening experience.

--- Quote from: Akima on 07 Nov 2011, 21:27 ---Seriously, does anyone really not know how to dance? OK, Marten might not be super-good, but he is a musician, so he must have a sense of rhythm. It's not like he has to learn the minuet or something to dance with Padma. Come on...
