No, Schrodinger both killed and did not kill the cat. No half about it...



Cell Sweet Cell

I was wondering how long until someone brought that up
I thought about that a little after I put it as my sig, but that just didn't have the same ring to it ::shrugs::

13. Thou Shalt Shun Worshippers Of Mac/PC/Windows/Linux (delete as appropriate) For They Are Spawned of SATAN!

I thought Schrodi (as his mates used to call him down the bar) just stuck it in a box and waffled on about whether it was dead or not till it expired from lack of oxygen. It was meant to be a joke, but nobody got it.

Sort of answered his question really.

He started putting air-holes in the lid after that, but people kept crying, "What are you on about man!? I can bloody see it moving about in there!"

A little known fact for you - he also theorised about the potential state of existence of potatoes when buried, but just ended up with a whole crop. Later in life he retired to a little farm plot in Wales and bred square sheep in tiny boxes. He was killed at the age of 104 in a freak shower of fish whilst he was relieving himself, when a twenty pound halibut smashed through his out-house.

A small box-like tomb was built where he died, with the inscription "Am I really dead in here?" - but nobody got the joke so they flattened it and built a small stone circle on the spot instead.

It is said that if you stand right at the centre of the circle today and call out his name while jumping on the spot, you might be considered a complete weirdo by anyone who sees you.


It's all true! I swear!

==I don't believe it! Somebody stole my sig!!==

13. Thou shalt not say the same number twice in a list.

Or just a believer of what he said (aka crazy).

Inconsistant. You have 2 operating systems, a kernel, and an architecture there. It should be:

I was going to say "Ha, you didn't cite the Computer Ethics Institute," but upon further inspection I deduced that the above sentence does in fact cite the Computer Ethics Institute.

lol @ Iron Wallaby.

Far from inconsistent, I must argue. I chose 'PC' because 'IBM compatibles' wouldn't scan.

One conflict might exist between Mac users and IBM-compatible users. Another such conflict might exist between Windows and Linux users. There was no strict need to categorise - simnply compare 'legendary foes'.

As for spam - I really don't see why anybody would be worshipping that, but hey - it's your flame.

Okay:
