Is the glass half empty or half full?

[stonemaybe]

It's in a quantum superposition of states - both half-empty and half-full. It will become either when an observer steps in and glances at the glass.

Schroedinger's Glass of Milk.

But if it's cat that's the observer, then odds are it'll soon be more than half-empty....

Well done, Lore!!



..and excellent come back, Stone...

Can a dead cat see, not mention drink a half-empty glass of water?

Come on Cag! Pay attention!

We're talking milk now, water was a full two fluids ago! (edit: and the glass may well be half full)

[aliantha]

Goodness knows, our cats show enough interest in any random half-empty water glass I happen to leave on the coffee table... Oh! Wait! We've moved on to milk! Sorry....

[Cagliostro]

Sorry. But the cat is dead, right?

[stonemaybe]

Define 'dead'

[Cagliostro]

In a state that is neither alive or undead. Or in a maybe state.

I could start quoting the Parrot Sketch if you'd like...

Can a dead cat drink a half full/empty glass of milk if there is no-one there to observe? Would the glass be half-full to a live cat but half-empty to a dead one?

LORE: What have you done to my brain?????????

Oh no! No way I'm reading that! My grasp of reality is just fine at the moment, excepting a glass of milk kink.

What is the sound of a cat in a box with poison?



















Umm.......42!

I wouldn't mind, but I don't know about anyone else here...

If no one was there to observe it except the cat, wouldn't the glass remain half full/empty and the cat remain dead/alive in perpetual superposition? Who said the cat was dead? Cag? If no one's there to observe it, how do you know its dead?

hey, whats that supposed to mean?!

on another note, why does the cat have to be dead at all? Whats wrong with a living cat? Cag, did you feed it some of that distilled chicken crap?

Hey, a whole bunch of us drank that distilled chicken crap and lived!

I'd just like to go on record as saying that I prefer live cats to dead ones.

yes, but you have somewhat more body mass than a cat does. I think if a cat had as much distilled chicken as you fools drank, it would probably just keel right over.

I prefer live cats as well.

[CovenantJr]

If a cat drank the distilled chicken, it'd go on a rampage, pushing girls down stairs and off porches willy-nilly.

are you saying you're a cat?
