Do Dogs Bark The Same In Different Countries?
MSN knows how to get me to click through their web-site. These are the kinds of questions that intrigue me: trivial or nonsensical on the surface but perhaps more complex beneath the surface.
My initial answer is YES.
I read somewhere once there is a simple answer to every question and it is invariably the wrong answer. Of course, that seems to run contrary to Occham's Razor, SO..
NOW I'VE GOT TO CLICK THE LINK AND FIND OUT.
Alas, I still don't know. I lost my sound when I was reconfiguring the network a few days ago and haven't had time to troubleshoot it what with my new poker addiction and all.. can someone click the link and report back?

I'm disappointed - it was obviously a human making barking sounds with the appropriate accent.

Posted by: Ravenwood at July 18, 2003 2:25 PMWell, about what the dog actually says, I think it is the same.
What humans say varies. Here are two that I remember:
Korean: mong mong
Spanish: wow wow
I think dogs say "wong wong" in Chinese.
There are some languages where the dog says
"ho ho", but I forget which ones
