"Now, for some functions, the partial derivatives ∂f²/(∂x∂y) = ∂f²/(∂y∂x) - so the order in which you do them doesn't matter. These are called "nice" functions. These are functions your mother would be happy with you going out with, not like some horrible nasty functions that lurk about, lure you into a false sense of security then give you a nasty surprise."
-- Dr Braden, University of Edinburgh.

"If you take apart a cat to see how it works, what you'll end up with is a non-working cat." Not sure if thats a Schrodinger quotation, but it's spoken at the end of the Ayreon CD "The Human Equation"

David said:Yes, as in Schrodingers cat. Better not tell eobard what happens with the cat he might get upset
RoadWarrior said:Well, if he opens the box and it's dead, then it would be his fault because the state of the cat is determined by the observer. Then we could be all "n00b, you collapsed the wavefunction now!"

Colin: "I have finally figured out why I can never find true love - English girls! They are too stuck up. I prefer more laid back girls, like American girls. I am going to America!"
Colin's friend: "You are a lonely, ugly, *******, Colin, and you must learn to accept it"
Colin: "No! I am COLIN, God of sex. I'm just on the wrong continent, thats all"
