Introduction	In audio signal processing and acoustics; an echo is a reflection of sound; arriving at the listener some time after the direct sound. When dealing with audible frequencies; the human ear cannot distinguish an echo from the original sound if the delay is less than 1/10 of a second. Thus; since the velocity of sound is approximately 343 m/s at a normal room temperature of about 20°C; a reflecting wall must be more than 16.2 m from the sound source at this temperature for an echo to be heard by a person at the source.
Interests	My fan mail is enormous. Everyone is under six (Alexander Calder)
Favorite movies	According to Greek mythology Echo was an Oread who had the job of talking incessantly to Hera; the Queen of the Gods; so that her husband; Zeus; wouldn't get caught in his numerous affairs. Hera caught on to the trick and cursed her to only be able to repeat what others had just said.
Favorite music	One day Echo spied a golden-haired youth hunting deer in the woods. The boy’s name was Narcissus; and when Echo first laid eyes upon Narcissus; her heart burned like the flame of a torch. But Narcissus had no heart; and loved no one. She secretly followed him through the woods; loving him more with each step. She got closer and closer until finally Narcissus heard the leaves rustling. He told whoever was there to come out. Echo came out and; because she couldn't talk; used her hands to show Narcissus how much she loved him. Narcissus; annoyed that so many people liked him; rejected her love. The goddess Nemesis; she who ruins the proud; cursed Narcissus into falling in love with his own reflection; which he did when he saw himself in a lake; he died looking at himself; and was turned into the flower now bearing his name. Echo; heart-broken and desolate after Narcissus’s death; did not eat or sleep. All her beauty faded away; and she became very thin until her voice was all that was left. She prayed to Aphrodite for death; and sha answered her prayer; but let her voice live on.
Favorite books	The god Pan and Echo had one child; Iambe; goddess of verse and ribald humour. But when Echo once denied his love; Pan got furious and tore her to shreds; scattering her about the Earth and leaving bits of her everywhere for us to find; or rather hear; forever.
