geeky conversation of the day
this convo started off about the fallacies of the Star Trek holodeck. (how the hell do you gallop a damn horse into the sunset in a 6' by 6' room anyway?!) then it took an ugly turn.
peep: what i don't get is, with all of that technology, how come they can't invent doors that don't make so much noise when they open and close?
me: it's because they have that dumb blind bastard, Geordi, walking around! they can't very well have him standing in front of a door for ten minutes because it opened so quietly he didn't know about it. the Enterprise has to be handicapped accessible.
peep: oh. that makes sense.

I thought the doors made noise so if whatever characters were getting their groove on they would hear if someone walked in if they forgot to lock the door...
Both good reasons.
