Deep Thought

Searching for the lid of a Tupperware® container is a lot like Schrodinger's Cat:  It both exists and does not exist until it is found, or not found.

"Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious." -- T Prachett

I did note that this would piss of physicists.

Schrodingers Tupperware. I wish that B. Kliban were around to draw that.

An opportunity to quote St. Terry is never a sign of pissed off-edness.
