I spent a looong looong time reading this discussion wondering why people kept invoking the Victorian poet Algernon Swinburne.
Why no, I have not the philosophic mind.
Also, my work it is to kill today.

Is that a cat over there?
Is that Schrodinger's cat?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Is that Schrodinger's cat?
Maybe. Maybe not.

Royals Stadium is a beautiful ballpark
Or it would be, if not for the big fountain in the middle of the outfield. If it's actually located in the batter's blind, okay, that's a funny way to create a batter's blind. If it's not, then it's taking up room that could be cheap bleachers.

Really? I didn't hear LFN kerfuffle. I heard SGA kerfuffle that's just a rehash of eight other stale kerfuffles.
I guess it wasn't a kerfuffle. I think it was just me not knowing Certain People don't get along with Other People. But since I am Switzerland, I shall continue to be oblivious and not care very much.
I might have missed the SGA kerfuffle completely, it's also so far off my radar.

Either it is...or it isn't.

But, if God is all powerful, he should be able to do things that make my head hurt.
I think ita just summed up a couple of millenia of theology and philosophy in one sentance.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I think I did see that eventually. It took me like five hours to catch up on LJ.
I might have missed the SGA kerfuffle completely, it's also so far off my radar.
I think I can sum it up as t YAWN .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If God is all-powerful and there is at least one entity known to be able to exist outside of the/a universe, then he must be able to create another one.
What if there's only room for one universe?
Now my head is hurting too....

No! It both is and isn't, at the same time, and you'll only know which one when you actually poke it to check. Sorry, physics geek.
I think I need to catch up on yesetrday's conversation.

Nilly's right. Except when someone said, "Is that Schrodinger's cat?," doesn't that imply the cat has already been looked at? Or maybe just the box that the cat is/isn't in was looked at?
