Default Re: This is worth listening to

I'll listen to the clangers in a whole new light.

The patterns in sound that we interpret as words are a whole lot simpler than you'd think from the amount of information capacity needed to convey the sounds themselves. Consequently, it doesn't take much in random noises, to produce the impression of a word, and therefore the impression of a word comes along more frequently than you would expect. The human brain is a pattern recognition engine par excellence and treats anything patternless as a challenge.

"Oh s@d it, the bl@@dy thing's stuck again!". in swanee whistle-speak. Love it!
