...Chemistry taught me the basics of making explosives...and Physics, erm, sleeping.

If you'd paid attention in Physics you'd have learned how to make really really big explosives.

[Menelaus]

Damn! You had to ask the question. Now the uncertainty has collapsed.

He might have been, had you not asked.

ah, cat as waveform

We made a rail gun in physics.

PK & I nearly made TNT in A level Chemistry but we got stopped about ten minutes from finishing. There's nothing like boiling concentrated nitric acid fumes corroding a rubber bung to attract a Chemistry teacher's attention...

... except a reputation.

Sweet! I was tulip at chemistry, I'm afraid - hence getting an E (and I don't mean the street parlance for MDMA either, more's the pity)

So the cat is either dead or not dead... which is it?

Neither - that's the point of the experiment; it's in a third state, hence cat-as-waveform

Why not just butter the cats back to produce a perpetual motion machine just before it hits the ground? Won't need to worry about whether it's alive, dead or a probability thingy then anyway.

Good idea. Wrap copper wire around it and attach a couple of magnets - you'd be able to generate a small electrical current

[Zippy]

ok.
are you still there ?

No. I'm hiding behind the sofa like I do when the Jehovah's Witnesses come round
