Swouncing

"Is that Schrodinger's cat?" doesn't that imply the cat has already been looked at?

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."

I hear Swinburne's well-hung....

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe the lighting was bad?

My favorite Schrodinger quote on Quantum Mechanics (specifically Born's Probability Wave Interpretation): "I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it."

Yeah, he got jaded and bitter after the cat bit him.

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

I had a college friend who liked to compare philosophy to a five foot penis. Sure it's impressive, but not very useful in a practical sense.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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.

The fountains are to either side, so they don't interfere. George Brett never seemed to have any trouble picking up the ball. Why would you want to replace fountains with cheap, ugly bleacher seats? Have you no soul? First off, fountains pretty. Second off, there are already plenty of cheap seats there. The highest ticket price in the entire ballpark is $27 for the seats by the dugout.

Now tagless for your comfort.
