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?

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."
