The thing I love about quantum mechanics is the ability to perfectly predict experiments and not have a clue what the fuck is actually going on.
I hear the biggest haters of quantum mechanics are the cat census takers.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This is way off topic-- but
My city's bus website has this feature called "Next Bus" where you put in the time and your stop, and it tells you the next five buses coming to that stop.
Until last week, when it started giving you the PREVIOUS five buses. The buses you HAVE ALREADY MISSED.
So to get the next bus, I have to change the time incrementally until I get some buses that are after the current time. I just had to do "next bus" for 6:10 in order to see that a bus is coming at 5:44.
I actually emailed them to let them know, but I got no response and it is driving me nuts!
Maybe they are using imaginary numbers?

They should just use imaginary numbers to model the cats in indeterminate states.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had to get up at stupid o'clock for a dentist appointment this morning. Bleah.

I know! That's the awesomest.
Inverse temperature is imaginary time, people. e to the iπ is love.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dylan is running around pretending to hurt himself and then presenting various body parts to be kissed better. It is quite heartbreakingly cute and totally makes up for all the two-ness of this past weekend.
I love imaginary numbers. They are awesome.

All numbers are imaginary, real numbers are just a particular type of imaginary number.
FWTW.

Oh Jessica, my sister in twohood! Grace hits herself in the head, a lot. And part of this is a stim thing, but some of it isn't. She looks at whichever adult is there and gives them this look like, "What?"
Sigh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Barren? Who says barren? Someone get me a Brit. Do Brits still say 'barren'?
This came up in a comedy show here last night (Good News Week). One contestant was arguing for the return of words like 'barren' and 'spinster'.
Woot! Down with letter-appropriating imaginary "numbers"!
Imaginary numbers didn't exactly start this. e is perfectly real, for instance.
