Guest c4evap Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Data has no lungs. You need lungs to push air out of your mouth to whistle. Hence - no whistle. His voice prolly comes from some type of electronic thingy. As for the farting thing - no digesting, no farting. Peeing - he could drink liquids but didn't digest them. Since he has a penis he could just "drain" the liquid. c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveo Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 wasn't there an ep/movie when he get the emotion chip & keep on eating something he didn't like.... That was in Generations, where he drinks 'something new from Frocas 3' or some similar place in Ten Forward with Geordi. He drinks it because the emotional response is so new and intriguing.

Since he has a penis he could just "drain" the liquid. c4 B) There is just something so..wrong about that entire reply >_< We never see Data eat in the series or movies. We see him drink on many occasions. Prior to Generations, when he uses his emotion chip, we saw him at least once drink just a liquid concoction that he said lubricated his internal mechonicisms. In Generations once he aquires emotion, he goes to Ten Forward for a drink. Guinan gives him some drink, the name escapes me, and while he finds it quite enjoyable and amusing to drink it he actually hated the taste of it. "God, this is awful." "More?" "Yes, please." one of the best scenes in that movie As for no lungs, he can whistle. Data says in TNG that while he can go for extended periods of time without "breathing" at some point he will need too, this is another method of his internal systems keep themselves moving and fluidic as the air "inhaled" is used to presurize him, keep dust out, help lubrication etc So if he can breath in air, then it's assumable he can also push air out of his nose or mouth. Plus in actuality, if he couldn't push air out, as mentioned above by others then why would he be whistling at all in the premiere? Either he CAN push air out to whistle but just had not mastered it as one of the subtle things humanoids can do. OR the processor that allows him to make sounds such as talking, could not fully mimic the music of whistling. If it's his sound processor that brings up a whole other can of worms. For one if he was able to sing, talk, and mimic other people's voices exactly then why could he not perform something as simple as whistling? Which leads me back to my original theory, it's one of the things Soong left slightly imperfect to allow him to "grow" as a being over time. Just like the dreams and later the emotion chip. Since his vocal processor couldn't fully mimic whistling at the time it's reasonable to assume in the future with practice and observation he could learn to whistle.

bones2097 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 no-no-no set self destruct to 2 seconds........ the explosion of the enterprse + the mysterious build up of methane gas cases an implosion & creates a mega black hole swallowing up the entire federtion..... resistance was futile even for the borg!!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjnave Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I agree. I think it was a scriptwriting device intended to show Data's falliability as an android. By making him seem inhuman' date=' in a way, that makes him more human: a machine with imperfections.[/quote'] wow... good, well thought answer. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
