"Oh, Fry. You idiot."

[Prutswerk]

"which increase the frequency and not the pitch.."

Thats TOTALY wrong, adjusting freq = adjusting pitch.

Timbre is the sum of all the different waves that bounce of from certain material which makes up that particular sound.

Thats why a clarinet sounds like a clarinet and a trumpet like a trumpet even when they play the same C3 note.

3:11 - I know how I'm spending my day tomorrow.

@poodlepoodle777 It's one of the many interpretations of Ave Maria

@Prutswerk congratulations, you just made yourself look foolish

@Prutswerk Apparently he's right, Helium is about six times lighter than air, so the sound waves travel much more quickly though helium than through air. While the geometry of your vocal cords doesn't change, they vibrate differently in the lighter gas. The actual pitch of your voice does not change. There is a good explanation here -->

i have a problem with the cow part. in india there's places you can go where you can get all kinds of soap and medicine made from cow urine and manure etc. and they themselves state that it's the cows holy energy that heals and helps you. also on the 12.12 there's a cow ritual, it's a symbol of the earth and wealth. krishna is also often depicted with his cows. how is that not a sacred representation?

@Prutswerk

I think what is meant by his statement is that the vocal chords maintain the same frequency of vibration. The waves travel through helium which alter the wave thus the perceived change in pitch.

8:20 I know this song but I can't for the life of me recall the name. Surely one of you knows and I'll facepalm at the obviousness once told. Thanks all!

When they asked what penguins and Santa Claus had in common, I was like:

"They both don't exist!"
