Ok, this is a totally random thing. So right now, if you are against random just hit the "back" button on your mouse now!

My guy thing took me here the other day. It is COOL! Yup, if you stand in a circle, shown in a picture, you hear your echo!

It's neat. Make's for some trippy conversations.

Anyways.... No point to this in reality. Just a random thing I found and Jesh found a link to it.

Anyone have anything like that around where they live??

*would post a joke*

*but all the ones she got in PM's were naughty*

:wink:

I've seen several places like that. I like them. There was one similar to that on the Quad of my university. And a sculpture that accomplished the same effect vertically in the performing arts center.

[And I moved the thread from Out of Character--which IS HP-related--to Miscellanea--which is not HP-related. Just FYI.]

Ok, thanks for the move~!~


As for you having seen one, thats cool!!

It was nifty as hell when I stood there, cuz the whole time I'm thinking, this isn't going to work, theres nothing here for it to echo off of.

Then it worked and I was like WTF!

Yeah, they are really cool. It's because of the sound waves, I think, hitting all the points of the curve and bouncing back right at you at the same time. What's really cool is that it doesn't require a big, flat surface--even a low, stone wall with columns cut into it or a relatively small surface area create the effect. Maybe someone with some audio engineering background can explain it to us better.

Maybe, I don't know if you can see in the pics, I should have taken some of my own TBH, but the "gardens" it talks about are only like... a foot high.

They are also benchs so its funny when you sit down so low.

I did take one picture. Right infront of the circle it says "Hey Corporate America, F You" then has a middle finger.....

Gah the joys of Downtown Tulsa....

I'll have to go back sometime. Its crazy how many people walked by me, and just looked at me like I was crazy. Like they didn't know what I was doing. Hell maybe they didn't...

I have a joke and I figured I'd just post it here, instead of making a new thread~!~




A baby monkey asked his mother, "Why are we so ugly?" His mother said, "You better thank God we look this way, you should see the person reading this!"
