I (and I think many others) thought it was only one, but it turns out it has to be two. With one it's just not the same. | ||

True story? Historical event? Math game? Title relevant? one = the number 1? two = the number 2? Is one/two a count of something (1 thing vs 2 things)? One or two persons? One or two animals? One or two tangible objects? One or two events? Does one/two number something (1 Baker Street vs. 2 Baker Street, PS 1 vs. PS 2, Alien 1 vs. Alien 2...)? One or two o'clock? | ||

0815: True story? yes Historical event? no Math game? no maths in this one Title relevant? Intended more to drum up interest. There's a vague relevance, but likely to be more misleading than helpful one = the number 1? the quantity 1, yes two = the number 2? the quantity 2, yes Is one/two a count of something (1 thing vs 2 things)? yes One or two persons? no One or two animals? Yesish, explore One or two tangible objects? ...so I suppose yesish also One or two events? yes Does one/two number something (1 Baker Street vs. 2 Baker Street, PS 1 vs. PS 2, Alien 1 vs. Alien 2...)? If you mean it as I think you do, the answer is no. This is about one of something versus two of something, rather than No1. versus No2 One or two o'clock?no | ||

Do the events envolve animals? Is one specific animal relevant? a mammal? Is it comparable to the following: Easter can be seen as one event but it consists of the death and resurrection of Christ? Is the event relevant to most people? to a specific group of people? related by interest? or occupation? Is one of the two events hidden in a way? | ||

Tobasi: Do the events envolve animals? they do indeed Is one specific animal relevant? YES a mammal? but no Is it comparable to the following: Easter can be seen as one event but it consists of the death and resurrection of Christ? yes but -ish. In fact, in a certain way, YES Is the event relevant to most people? I'd say yes to a specific group of people? But this too related by interest? this or occupation? Is one of the two events hidden in a way?depends on the perception. Both events are clearly experienced... Sorry for some slightly vague answers, but all will become clear. I get the feeling this won't go for weeks  | ||

Butterflies relevant? Fossils relevant? Bones relevant? Is there one animal involved? two animals? one animal in two forms? Part of an animal? Two parts of an animal/ of animals? Is this about one specific event? a historical event? a scientific discovery? Something that took place once? more than once? Something that is likely to take place in the future? | ||

0815: Butterflies relevant? no Fossils relevant? no Bones relevant? no Is there one animal involved? No two animals? YES one animal in two forms? Kinda Part of an animal? no Two parts of an animal/ of animals? no Is this about one specific event? a historical event? a scientific discovery? Something that took place once? more than once? Something that is likely to take place in the future? In the way I think you mean these questions, no. This isn't some specific notable event or set of events, but something which almost everyone will know of, and very many will have experienced firsthand. It's happened millions of times in the past, present, and will continue in the future | ||

One male bird and one female bird? Are both birds of the same race? Are both birds living breathing animals? Do these birds normally live in the forest? in grassland? at the coast? at a lake? in the mountains? in the desert? in steppe lands? at one of the poles? in towns? Do they fly south in the winter? Wild shots: Are they owls? cuckoos? turtledoves? | ||

Is it important to find out what the "it" is an "With one it's just not the same.? Does this have to do with bird-watching? Such as seeing one rare bird would be special but actually seeing two mating would be really be be amazing? | ||

0815: One male bird and one female bird? YES Are both birds of the same race? yes, see below Are both birds living breathing animals? yes Do these birds normally live in the forest? hang on, I'l look it up... think so, certainly in trees in grassland? at the coast? at a lake? in the mountains? in the desert? in steppe lands? at one of the poles? in towns? Do they fly south in the winter? Wild shots: Are they owls? Oh YES! cuckoos? turtledoves? Judgedeadd: Anything to do with proverbs? no, more percieved knowlege Are those birds parrots? see above Rubberduck: Is it important to find out what the "it" is an "With one it's just not the same.? yope Does this have to do with bird-watching?

Haha...just got the title. Anything to do with mating calls? | ||

Beccaann: Anything to do with mating calls? I believe so, bird calls certainly. I'm no bird watcher, but I would think a number bird calls people hear are actually mating calls Rubberduck: Were the owls mating? Not at the time pertinent to this statement, but insofar as I would think bird calls often lead to mating, I suppose they could soon. But mating isn't the key BTW, a warm welcome to all who are contributing towards me giving away my secrets, purely for the sport | ||

Are both owls calling? If yes: simultaneously? does one answer the other? does one say "shoo" and the other says "hoo"? Does only the male call? only the female? Exact type of owl relevant? | ||

0815: Are both owls calling? yes If yes: simultaneously? no does one answer the other? YES does one say "shoo" and the other says "hoo"? Where I come from it's 'Twit-twoo' or 'Twit-who' (hence the title) or similar, but it's a YES Does only the male call? no only the female? no Exact type of owl relevant? Yes, and to save unnecessary questions, it's a Tawny Owl. Apologies if the species isn't very well known outside Britain, but I reckon we're very close to the Big S | ||

Does this have to do with the fact that many people think the 2 seperate calls are actually one, although the overall "tu-whit tu-whoo" as Shakespeare put it is actually the combined sound of the male and females distinct calls? | ||

Beccaann: Does this have to do with the fact that many people think the 2 seperate calls are actually one, although the overall "tu-whit tu-whoo" as Shakespeare put it is actually the combined sound of the male and females distinct calls? Well, I reckon that's a *** SPOILER *** This relates (exactly as Beccaann puts it) to the fact that many (myself included until recently) are brought up, and continue, to think of the call of an own as 'Tu-whit tu-whoo', whereas in fact no owl makes this sound - the female Tawny Owl makes the first part, and the male answers with the second. Beccaann hit it, 0815 played a major part, and many thanks to all for contributing. |
