Navy Rail Gun Successfully Tested

By the black emblem bottom you avatar I can see we are freaks-of-a-kind.

Yep.

That all started with a conversation about the construction of shock tubes and plasma guns

OMG it's reigning cats and dogs.

Do the Cats bounce 8 times ? Also why didn't Schroedinger have a dog ?

The "Schroedinger Cat" thought-experimented was wrongly attributed to him, but since caught-on, it became his cat-in-a-bot, once killed by automated poison-capsule, once kille by gamma radiation, once by suffocation.

"Kill the cat, kill the cat!, kill the cat!" was the the thing. The hell with Schroedinger, by now.

See?

That's all very interesting , but will the cat I propose to drop use its 9 lives up and bounce 9 or 8 times. I have fed you with so much material within my one simple question that any sentient feline could dine out for a month on badly connected jokes/anecdotes/puns/arguments. I know cats are stereotyped as lazy , bit c'mon !

8 , then it has rigor mortis and wont bounce.

Stock exchange-'dead cat bounce'

Anatomical - how cats twist their heads in free-fall

Cat 'o nine tails

Cat ch my drift.

etc

I will not spoon feed you Yuval . I currently have 2 - one will hide from the dog and never comes downstairs. The other lives downstairs and will cry relentlessly when I leave her to go to bed. Guess which one I shall test the 'how many bouces' question on if you don't come up with a decent joke. The result of any failure will be scanned (quite easily) and posted for your ever-lasting shame ! Give me a gag , now , or the car gets it ! A shaggy dog story may surfice. Mail it to me in order to prevent others suffering.

"...Give me a gag , now , or the car gets it !..."

But this is exactly that classical "Cat-In-A-Box", only here, I the gag-supplier, plays the Wave-Particle duality, And you, the poor creature's owner, plays the death-mechanism.

As I said, it's all about "Kill the cat! Kill the cat! Kill the cat!"

Nothing to do with Quantum Mechanics anymore

see?

If that's a Groucho Marx cat he needs a cigar in his paw methinks.

Provide and we shall see if it fits the tight corner there. I'm not against, as long (as short?) as it woudn't burden his balancein on this shelf

Now that is strange. I was going to go back and change c to t (was it that way round ?). I paused ( sorry , pawswed) thinking what the heck , then I thought I changed it . Well , you know how it is. Anyway , you failed and kitty (her name oddlly enough is 'Splat' , honest - a long story) is gonna get it. I will let you know what you made me do tomorrow . You are entirely responsible for provoking me to do this Yuval . Sleep well. The cat certainly will ( about 4 a.m GMT)

Bet you feel sorry now !

No! Please NO! Spare the kitty. Take the car instead! I think he's gone for the day! I'll pay the ransom:

Here it is- I hope pictures will suffice instead of a shaggy dog story

Great Pics Steve-o ! The first two are real party animals . There are some very funny LOLcats sites about .I'll spare the cat for now , mainly 'cos I saw this guy ;

eughhh.

This

Is simply adorable.

This one:

Is to munch the cat with empathy. Fell asleep in the middle of dinner (literally)?

Both rushed to my "Hall Of Fame" directory.

I know this is way off topic (I got bored looking at cute and weird cats) but have a look at this. Is a 'blacklight' just uv ? . I have some old highlighters.....

OK , just for you.

He he ! - I like mono-rail cat.

I think it's UV, in spite of what's stated there.

Blacklight responds to the higher part of of the visible spectrum, showing green blue and violet as bright violet-white, and showing white as very bright violet-white.

UV responds to particles at a given micro-size in the range of about 800 to 200 nanometer, which will "cavity-resonate" to it's wavelength. This is used to identify certain compound content in minerals, and also detect presence of bacterial matter on non organic surfaces.

The pigment particles in these document markers, sometimes organic and sometimes mineral, is suitable in size to such luminance.

Not being final or definitive here, maybe it is Blacklight as stated.

Hey , and I thought it was only good for seeing bras in a night club !

The one Called Blacklight is the one used in disco-halls during the sixties and seventies, to gleam eyes teeth and bras in the dark.

That must be the Mexican version . It reminds me that UK sightings have gone down as we have progressed from dustbins with separate lids to 'wheelie-bins' with integral lids . The aerodynamics are rubbish. (where are you Yuval - they're green and cubic , about 1,5 X 0.5 X 0.5 , any colour will do though)

I threw me derby in the air and snapped a pic of it.

I have no idea of what you're talking about- "dust-bins, 1.5"??

must be a UK thing...

ectually old chap , I do believe that hats are still reffered to as a 'Coke' by the original maker , after the first customer. Yes ones knows that colonial types have their say in this , but it would be jolly bad form of me to go on.

He he - hats off to you steve-o ! You out-britted me . Question is , are you dangling corks with that name ? I can't see the bloody avatar in this editor

Here it is; non-animated though. The eyebrows go up and down

I can see you're in Virginia Steve , but the addition to make 'steve-o' sounded like the way Autralians use names ! Their hats are famously funny.

Cork hats! That's hilarious! I've never seen that here in the States. Got to get (or make) me one or two. Can I dangle gin caps off of it? (The plastic screw-off kind) -only the best for me..

I've been nick-named Steve-o my whole life as far as I remember..

All this talk about rail guns made me order a gauss rifle from ebay. Amazing little device as i have already stumped several "know it alls" by letting them just slightly nudge the first ball bearing. Then i say to them " you just violated the second law of thermodynamics". Fun little device.
