Schrödinger's Cat: A cat, along with a flask containing a poison, is placed in a sealed box shielded against environmentally induced quantum decoherence. If an internal Geiger counter detects radiation then the flask is shattered, releasing the poison which kills the cat. Quantum mechanics suggests that after a while the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when we look in the box, we see the cat either alive or dead, not a mixture of alive and dead.
if that was a bit too much for you, here’s mario to save the day.

kitty cat jungle
Posted by: jimmy conde on: December 9, 2008
found this on gumtree cape town. for a mere 2800 rand (280 US dolla), your lucky pet could be the proud owner of a hand-crafted “kitty cat jungle gym”.
note the bell-toy placement for optimal kitty cat enjoyment.
because we all know how much cats love to crawl through tunnels and run back and forth across wooden bridges. oh wait, that’s toddlers. but lest you decide to treat your kitty cat jungle gym like a regular jungle gym, there is a disclaimer from the manufacturer:
NOT FOR CHILDREN OF ANY AGE!!!
Stands 1.5m high incl roof, 2.3m long, 90cm wide. Large steel drum on chains with toys and kitty blanket inside. Single detachable, snap together A-frame roof. 4 balancing beams covered in twine. 2 x 60cm x 60cm flat sleep and play decks. 1 bridge on chains. 1 x 1.2m ramb (single beam). Extra toys placed elsewhere for optimal use. All sprayed with catnip.
MADE TO ORDER!!! 2 – 3 weeks production time.
You will have to arrange your own collection!
just imagine the satisfaction you’ll get as your cat disdainfully sniffs her new playtoy before she walks off and ignores you until suppertime. but before you regret your purchase, perhaps you should take the manufacturer’s advice and “arrange your own collection”. only the Mechazord of kitty cat jungle gyms will capture your jaded pet’s attention. definitely worth another month’s rent.
mass amounts of shit
Posted by: jimmy conde on: December 1, 2008
as i’ve said, i’ve spent most of my life talking mass amounts of shit with precious little to show for it. my resistance to writing and productivity in general has resulted in a lack of concern for the formalities of grammar and syntax. as you may have noticed, my wording at times veers sharply from the preferred formal register to the colloquial. i like to keep it real, you know? if you don’t talk like a douche why write like one. but sometimes i just can’t help it.
it may be hard at times to decipher my tone. i generally divide my time between being deadpan sarcastic to mildly ludicrous, and it’s really hard to stop. but everything i say here, even if it is outrageous, or you know it not to be true – i know its not true, but still believe in it. somethings are just meant to make you think, you know?
