A labyrinth is an ancient series of spiraling circels created on the ground with stones that you walk through. You're supposed to ponder some big question like what you should be when you grow up or if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? (I say no, because a sound is only invisible waves in the air until it hits someones ear, but Kenny says yes because the resulting crash would still cause vibrations and the earth itself would "here" it.) ↗
