Yes, but what's the bloody question? It can't be the one that came up in the series (be it the radio series, the TV series, or the books) as no one writes jokes in base 13. And I'm not sure I buy mutual exclusivity.

Yes, that is where the nature of the interactive expantion of the box by the multiple observers of a single event comes in. The box becomes to be bigger than itself, but still itself in propetual expantion. On the other hand, I like oatmeal cookies.

What if we put the box in a Klein Bottle?

Is Schröedinger's Cat dead or alive, or has it gotten bored and wandered off somewhere?

This all brings us back to one of the major problems in the world today - that old vexed question of what is going on. Is there still time to confront it, let alone solve it, or is it too late? What are the figures, what are the facts, what do people mean when they talk about things?

I will not buy this record, it is scratched!

My hovercraft is full of eels!

Another 16 ton weight falls on Coemgen.

Ya,

that's nice. Then we can have some cookies.

No hard feelings, we were just all being silly.

And everything's all better now.

But, if your mother was a washer and your father was a dryer, how many pancakes will it take to cover the roof of a doghouse?

**Pleater** · 21st March 08, 09:26 AM

Assuming the classic pitched roof - the number of pancakes equals twice the edge of the eaves times the ridge, divided by pies are squared, plus a few extra to take into account the wrap around or standing proud of the edge - it depends on how hard you cook the pancakes.
