Originally Posted By Dabob2 <I always heard it was "couldn't care less". (IE already at zero.)> That IS correct. "Could care less" is said by those who couldn't care less about getting it right.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <"Couldn't care less" doesn't say how much or little you care> Sure it does. It says you couldn't possibly care any less about something than you currently do. The only quantity from which you can't go lower is 0. Therefore, you care 0 about the topic at hand, i.e. you don't care about it at all. Logic police rule!

Originally Posted By ImgineerBob anyway back on topic, I dont think muppets closes early because of electronica, when your inside the theater you cannot hear outside noises, plus its in a another area of the backlot. If they close it early due to noise interference of electronica then would disney also shut down eo early cause of fireworks, or HM and POTC cause of fantasmic?? all of those rides stay open even though they are nearby. My guess is the "electronica" reason is just the cover reason the pr group gives guests but not why they actually do it.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Bob, TP didn't say it closed due to noise, but because in the evenings they're still showing the Tron preview in there INSTEAD of Muppetvision. It seems like a long time after the fact to still be showing it, and I can't confirm that since I don't live there, but that's what TP said.

The proof is finding one thing where one person can't hit 0 like their children, puppies, rainbows, beer, whether "couldn't care less" is correct, or to get myself back on topic, chopping blocks and Muppetvision.
Originally Posted By mawnck >>Caring "0" is a subset of couldn't care less, not the whole set.<< Nonsense. Plenty of people can hit 0 on any or all of the items you mentioned. (I don't like beer, for instance, and, being a cat person, am not that crazy about puppies either. Rainbows are pretty cool though.) And anyway it's "couldn't care less." My grandmother said so. Are you casting aspersions on my late grandma?

Originally Posted By berol "Plenty of people can hit 0 on any or all of the items you mentioned." It only has to be one person who can't hit zero. I'm good with your late grandma as long as I can still reply, "You could if you'd apply yourself!"

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <Caring "0" is a subset of couldn't care less, not the whole set.> No. If you couldn't care less, by definition you're at 0. If you're at 1 or .1 or even .01, by definition there is that small amount less that you could care.
