It's the age old Philosophy 101 question posed to have us think outside the box of our naive college student minds, and it goes something like, "If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" The first time I heard this question I thought, “Does it matter?” I didn’t much excel at philosophy. Despite that, I’ve asked myself some equally poignant, self reflective and philosophical questions lately. For example, “If a ceiling fan goes unnoticed and unused for over a decade at the top of one’s stairs, does it still collect dust?”
I can declare with authority that the answer is yes. Yes, it does.

Yeah I never got that question either...
If a man speaks in the woods, and no one is there to hear him, is he still wrong?
yes. yes he is.
In my mind, I see a vision of you switching on that fan and looking dismayed when the dust shoots all over place. Yes, yes I do.
Here's the real question you were asking. Tell me if I've got it straight:
"If a ceiling fan goes 10 years without use, will speculative buyers look high enough up to notice the dust?"
