It Is Siberius ! Confirmed using Software.

I have watched the trailers many,many times on hi-fi equipment and you can argue all you like but he definitely says Siberius, not Tiberius.

This has been gnawing away at me for months when I was in bed and I finally decided to do something about it.

To get final proof I used software which can analyse sounds and finally confirm what I am hearing is Siberius not Tiberius.

I also used wavepad which can show the waveform.I isolated the first part of the sound and compared with the S sound I speak and other generic S's.

Comparison of general phonetic S sounds with the first part of the word will confirm.

I think that kid either needs elocution lessons or someone mistyped his script using an S instead of a T.

I would also ask someone else to confirm the results I got using their own software.

I'd rather go out for a beer or something.

I hear Tiberius.
Anyway, at least he didn't say Riberius to make James R. Kirk canon.
 
How about the people who think we didn't walk on the moon?

batshit insane.

But did Armstrong say "One small step for man..." or "One small step for a man..."?

He actually said "One small step for man", but he obviously meant "One small step for a man".

You know, there was a guy a few years back who claims, like NoKnowes, to have proved through audio software that Armstrong actually said "a man" but it got lost in the transmission.
 
Kid was probably drunk when he said it. Slurred his words.

Which is a shame, because if Pike had gotten to him earlier, Kirk would have made Captain by age 11.
 
KIRK: "My name is 'Fuck you.' That's my name. You know why, mister? 'Cause you drove a state-owned hover-bike to chase me down. I just drove an eighty thousand dollar, fully-restored antique 'vette over a goddamned cliff."

Not only did the "a" get lost in transmission, but the time it took to say "a" also got lost. :confused:

I'm not saying one way or the other, I'm just saying what others say (say what?)

Don't you have anything better to do in your spare time? ;)
 
Dude, its Bank Holliday Monday, go get pissed or something.

Anyways, he says Tiberius, a little slurred and rushed but still Tiberius.

To take a new spin on Hitchhikers...

The guys are reading the Trekbbs on holliday monday;
Arthur: "We can talk about Tiberius until the cows come home"
Trisha: "Whats Tiberius?"
Ford: "Whats home?"
Zaphod: "What are cows?"
 
To be fair there is an s sound from the end of James, but there is a t sound as well.
Yes --
To be fair he did say 'Jamestiberius Kirk', running the last letter in "James" together with the first letter in "Tiberius", so it could have sounded like "Stiberius" to some...
...but even if he ran that names together, he still said "Tiberius" as the second part of that run-on name.

nonknowes -- a question for you...
Your fancy-schmansy software can tell if the first sound he made was an "S" or a "T", but can it tell if that "S" sound was part of a greater "ST" sound? i.e., can you compare what he said against generic "ST" phonteic sounds rather than just generic "S" sounds?
