Schrodinger's cat landed buttered side up

See what happens when too many of my friends get together? OK. Now, the question is, how many people get the reference? I suppose the back of such a t-shirt would need to read, "Schrodinger's cat landed buttered side down."

This gets added to a partial list previously posted by [livejournal.com profile] mbarr that included:

- Schrodinger's cat is undead (I came up with that one)
- Schrodinger's cat is mostly dead (back: schrodinger's cat is slightly alive)

And two he did not have on the list:

- Schrodinger's cat is not dead yet
- Schrodinger's cat was turned into a newt (back: it got better)

And another one suggested this Shabbat:

- Schrodinger's cat is pining for the fjords

We should definitely start printing t-shirts... :)

Yes, I did see that on your blog. It is rather cute.

What a coincidence. My roommate and I have had two conversation about Schrödinger's cat over the past three days.

Pining for the fjords? Hmm.. how did that one come up? It's a shame I missed the continuation of this topic, as I was there for the first ones. :)

It followed naturally from "not dead yet," as it got people thinking in a Python direction.

I like the "not dead yet."
It makes me wonder if there is an ethical requirement to keep the cat in the box, since you have a 50% chance of killing it the second you peek inside.

Schrodinger's cat just puked on the rug.
