It's this
duel
benefit."
Oh? So the tarsiers are saying "Engarde!" to each other?
Good grief.

What the article fails to mention is that the shriek can only induced by giving an incorrect number of McNuggets.

I rather enjoyed the loud ear-piercing shriek from my sister in law.... It gave me the energy to finish.

Yes, but it does it have a laugh like somebody machine-gunning a baby seal?

I once met a chick with eyes as big as a tarsier's. She shattered me like a glass goblin.

No. Pretty sure my sister-in-law CAN shriek in that high of a pitch, but since humans could not hear it, she doesn't bother.
There are more important things for a 50 year old woman to worry about. For example, the dressing on the side of the salad at the dinner might have dripped slightly on one side, causing it to perhaps accidentally flavor the tomato she is going to put it on before she was emotionally ready for it to be flavored.

Sounds like there's a lot of trolling potential there.
"Hey. Did any dressing touch this tomato?"
"No, but it was sliced in the same room as the dressing, so there are subliminal flavor particles all over it. Enjoy."

If they didn't include "wilhelmius" when they named it, there is no justice.

They never heard my ex when I flushed the toilet at our 100 year old house while she was taking a shower

She's still (living on the West Coast, now, thank goodness) worried about magical tsunami radiation sparkles. The trolling is full of stars.

Bullshiat Subby, they haven't heard my sister in law. Or my mother in law. Or my grandmother.
I'm surrounded by shrill women.

Yeah mine screams like that but only after about 15 mins of a good ramming.

Subby has clearly never heard my sister-in-law. My other brother and I have joked that she has a voice that can bone herring at five fathoms. I've actually seen newcomers jump the first time they heard her speak.

I've never heard either one of my sister in laws scream and I never want to. I've heard their farking chronic complaining over the years and that's quite enough.

My stepfathers niece's laugh makes me want to kill myself. When she starts laughing, I want to grab by the throat and hold on until she's dead. I have no idea how her husband puts up with it, because I would kill her if I had to spend more than an hour near her.
