Cat Wanted: Dead and Alive
So, here is some poetry to introduce to you a famous philosophical/physics conundrum/paradox/thing. Which perhaps you haven't heard about. And even if you already know it, at least it's in the form of a limerick so you may laugh at my poetic skills.
Schrödinger's cat.
There once lived a man called Schrödinger
He told a cat to sit in a box and just linger
The world got upset as he said
The cat was both living and dead
When to find out he should put in his finger

Brilliant, haha. A good show of how important philosophy is in physical science, delivered in a catchy limerick, too!
There wans was a cook, that had just made a meal, and as he or she had left the kitchen, he or she became unsure if the stove was still on. So the stove was both on and off untill the cook re-entered the kitchen to make sure ;)
Did you lock your car? IF unsure, the car is both unlocked and locked at the same time, untill you check .
Cus i felt like it :P
