I have about the same amount of hearing loss in my left ear and it is only a problem in situation where it is noisy and people speak at their normal volume. If they raise their voice a bit or I turn my head then it's not a problem. In a basketball game with teammates yelling I can't imagine it would be a problem - unless the crowd is really roaring, but then there are so many different ways to compensate. I think the biggest problem would be hearing the coach over the crowd if his good ear were turned in the wrong direction.
Don't just make outragous claims like that unless you can back them up with evidence, preferably photographic.
It makes you wonder how a T-rex brain might work, given the fact that it is larger in size, and has more capacity than our own. Did they store more memories, were they smarter, or were they dumber?
dann you guys are a bunch of smart arses; out of the 44 posts in this thread 32 are NOT about Yao and or the article. And yet the thread still has a 4 star rating. Unbelievible.
Tech: Maybe this isn't the proper place to discuss this, but you brought up some very interesting points. Points which makes me feel glad my Sociology class. I didn't do my own research so these are coming straight from my ex prof (who's old as dirt and has a phd in physics and sociology). As for brain capacity, we remember things through neurons "connecting" with others forming patterns. In which case, I was told the possiblitis are 40tril X 40tril. So I doubt we'll ever run out of "space". However, we would us it up if we were remember every little detail of our lives... i.e. the third spec of dirt on your shoe. The brain's "work around" is it captures mainly instances of things it's not fimillar with... a new feeling, sight, or thought. Most people remember the feeling they had on the first day of first grade even though it's been so long (jitters, can't sleep the night before... etc). However, most won't remember the feeling on first day our senior year in H.S (eh?). The brain goes through this process. First it sees an event, if it's fimiliar (a person walking down the street), it doesn't pay too much attention to it and hardly registers it. If unfimilar, (a ape walking down the street), the brain search for the familar patterns and doesn't find any referrences, in which case, it burns into the brain. In the process of searching and burning into memory, the pattern is alot stronger (maybe that's why your life flashes before you in a tragedgy). Your life is remembered mostly by special moments you've never experienced prior. With that said, even if we did you 90 percent of our brain for memory purposes, it doesn't make us smarter cognitively. That's determined by the way the patterns are set up. I remember reading about someone remember EVERY converstation he ever had, but that doesn't make him smarter then Einstein. Note also, a large portion of our brain, cannot be used for just thinking, we need it to regular our heart, while while chewing gum... etc. There! A whole semester of Sociology not gone to waste. In the words of EZ-E, "Don't quote me boy, I aint said... "
Who has two a$$es? I would think that the word, "cheek" would be more appropriate. 2 cheeks equals 1 a$$.
Anyone has left leg 60% shorter than the right leg? Or left eye 60% smaller than the right one? Or left nostril 60% smaller than the right one??
ahhh..NOW i get it....did yall notice how players were always able to sneak in the baseline of Yao's left side? now i know why...cuz he can't hear them running at the basket....
According to a post by Yao at Yao's forum, he said his left ear is basically deaf. It is worse than 60%........
just one more reason for Junngie to believe Yao won't become a great player in this league. no great player has ever had a deaf ear!
Yes, I do. It's the result of an unfortunate incident involving a linebacker from my college's footbal team, women with their pants off, and a lot of beer.
