If you think you might land in water, rather than on rock, angle your body to enter feet first. Otherwise, go limp and don't try to stop when you hit. This could cause more injuries. Always have another competent adult with you when you are in rocky surroundings, and...

The question in philosophy and psychology is that while a tree falling "should make" sound, the existence of the sound can depend on its ability to be perceived (now or later).

Liar's Paradox: "This statement is false." is known as a liar's paradox. It is an illustration of inherent flaws in logic. Another example of a liar's paradox is: "The next statement is false. The previous statement is true." Why it is a paradox It is contradictory. If we say the statement is true, then this statement would have to be false since it was true. If we say it the statement is false, it will make the statement itself true, as that is false. Example...

Also, due to the automatic formatting of WikiAnswers, the question mark is at the end of the sequence and not the end of the question. If you copy and paste this question into Notepad (straight ASCII editor) they show up as 1's, not L's. ...
