Meanwhile on planet Earth, a tree fell in a forest, but since not a soul was within ten miles of the scene, people still don't know if it made a sound or not. But light years away on Corneria, the sound of a crashing tree was heard on Peppy Hare's cheap scanner, which was positioned in the back room of his candy shop. Both Peppy and his friend Slippy Toad, who was at the candy shop buying Krishna Lollipops, heard the sound and immediately looked at each other.
"Is that a tree crashing in your back room, Peppy?"
"No, Slippy. That's my cheap scanner I built last week, remember?"
"Yeah. So what was that sound?"
"You wouldn't believe it, Slippy, that darn thing picks up the craziest sounds, not only from the further reaches of this galaxy but from other galaxies as well. Heck! it even picks up sounds from other realities!"
"So that sound..."
"Who knows where it came from," said Peppy shrugging his shoulders, "but it was definitely a tree falling to the ground."
And so, while on planet Earth the silly humans still grappled with this infamous philosophical question, on Corneria both Peppy and Slippy already knew the frigging answer. Shucks!
