Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?
At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.
I think it's two, but some people are convinced that it's one, which I just don't understand. What are your thoughts?

A straw is geometrically the same as a circular piece of paper with a z depth of zero and a hole in the middle. Because the z depth is zero there is only one hole. As you add thickness the one hole remains. Therefore, a straw has one hole.
so, using this logic, how many holes does a human have? 2? 2 1/2?
ears? tell me this story...
You have to rip through a membrane unless you've had tubes implanted for the ears I think?
Yes I google it and discovered my mistake
I'm a weirdo who learned how to 'click' their ears (opening eustachian tubes on demand) on their own possibly before Google existed, and have done a little research between now and then :p
