I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think it was just me not knowing Certain People don't get along with Other People.

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....

Is that Schrodinger's cat?

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

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?

Yeah, I was summing up the kerfuffles with a resounding, "...huh. I wonder if anyone has posted any porn."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I spent a looong looong time reading this discussion wondering why people kept invoking the Victorian poet Algernon Swinburne.

flea is me.

If the cat was looked at, the looker can tell definitely if it's alive or dead, though, right?

Or maybe just the box that the cat is/isn't in was looked at?

It can be a nice box with Schrodinger's note on it saying politely "Cat inside. Its status will require revolution in the world of physics. Open at your own risk. Oh, and there's some poison and a bit of radioactive stuff inside, too."

Which one? Let me guess - Schrodinger's Swinburne?

Maybe the lighting was bad?
