People who touch, smell or look at fruit before they eat it make me sick!

Fruit is only about the taste and the only way to determine that is to taste it, durr!

What sort of idiot would waste their time using any other sensory apparatus or source of so called 'information' than their mouths to determine what the deal is with a piece of fruit?!

With all those green picked fruits that have been artificially ripened before ending up on the supermarket shelves, it is very difficult to imagine how the smell of a fruit affects its taste. It is even possible to detect from the smell if some fruits are ripe enough to eat, or not. Mind you, some fruits have to be shaken, slightly squeezed, or tapped with a knuckle in order to find out if they are ripe enough to be eaten.

The ripeness of a fruit is in the eating, anyone who tries to circumvent this is likely a 'fruitibator'

Special circles of hell also reserved for:

Walkers who use maps

Ornithologists who use any form of taxonomy, rather than just determining species on sight according to their own preference and naming conventions.

Astronomers who use telescopes

Chefs who use recipes and those poor souls who engage in the pointless 'holy war' of whether it's better to cook with fire, gas or electric heat, when we all know they take food further away from the source and the only real food is raw food

People who believe a 100watt lightbulb will be brighter than a 60watt light bulb, every time I need a new light bulb I buy both and assess for myself which is the brightest and use that one

fantastic comments guys

384, fruit, wine and light bulbs!

Tell me Mr.Einstein: Is 384KHz (sound wave) faster than a light bulb (light wave)?

...did someone mention light? ...fiber optics Vs. coax Vs. USB Vs. Phono and its effect with regard to 384KHz?

This could become one of the most: fascinating, informative, humorous, illuminating, good humored threads on A.O.S.!

...let it rip people! ...let it rip! ...enjoying every comment

There are certain conditions where sound will move faster than light, through a brick wall for instance ;-)

The link I posted earlier points out that the 55picosecond transient resolution of the redbook standard equates to a lightspeed distance of less than 3cm, pretty quick.
