Only the 248 dB will kill you part was from me. The only other one I know is that pretty girls do in fact fart.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Xybjj;18386148]Any sound that is above 248 decibels will kill you from the shockwave alone..[/QUOTE]
I'm curious, where did you find this? 248 sounds like an awful lot, since db is a logaritmic scale, and sound turns into shockwaves "already" at ~195 db. 248 will surely kill you, but my guess is that the threshhold is much lower. It also depends on many other things, like atmosphere, and condition of one's body.
