This morning, I get to play Schrödinger's bird. Is it alive? Is it dead? Nobody knows!

And come to think of it, why did Schrödinger have to cat a for his little experiment? Cats are hardy. If you put a cat in a box overnight, chances are that it will still be alive in the morning...unless you poison it. Now, birds. That's a different story. Just put a sick birdie in the box, leave it overnight, and I say that he has a 50/50 chance of making until morning. No poison required!

So. What do you think? I leave it up to you. Is it going to be alive when I wander out there in a few minutes?

You are cruel to us...

I think it's going to be alive. I need to be hopeful about something. And our little birdie that was worrying us seems to have turned around and be getting well.

Sorry...just reflecting my state of mind at the moment. I'm going out there to check on him right now. I'll let you know right away.

Glad Crash Birdicoot survived!

(And in the "Thought Experiment, there was poison gas involved, along with a bit of radioactive isotope as a trigger. The isotope may or may not have decayed, setting off the gas. It's all basic Freshman Philosophy stuff, really. "Can God create a rock He can't lift" sort of shit.)
I need a shirt: "Look, Schroidinger, it's your turn to clean out the cat's box."
