So....I Married a Nerd

If there were ever any doubts, the conversation we had last night (which is typical) will clear all of them away. So we're laying in bed...

Me: What are you doing?
Aaron: I'm staring at your ear.
Me: Why, do I have something gross in there?
Aaron: No, your ear is fine.
Me: Then why?
Aaron: Well, I'll tell you, but only if you really want to know.
Me: Ok, I want to know.
Aaron: Well, one of the satellites I've been getting the data from at work has multiple receiver antennas that are different sizes of circles for different frequencies.
Me: Oh boy

Aaron: ...and I was just thinking that your ear sort of looks like it has three different sized circles and I was wondering if that's part of how you hear different frequencies, because on the satellite there's a really big dish that receives low frequencies, and then there are smaller ones that catch the high frequencies.

Me: (rolling my eyes) No wonder you find my ears so attractive, they remind you of satellite dishes. I'm going to bed. (*In all fairness, I did tell Aaron I wanted to know, and my sarcsism was more playful than anything else.*)

Aaron: The sad part is now I'm going to have to measure my ear and figure out what frequencies I would be able to hear if I'm right.

Then this morning, Aaron looked up the human hearing range and speed of sound and figured out that his theory wouldn't be too far off.
