    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    My vector space is on the blink. It looked fine this morning, but since lunch its wave-particle dualities have been all over the place. Do I need a new eigenstate, and where would I get one now that Woolworths has closed down?

    Have you tried

    turning it off and back on again?

    Edit - don't forget to leave it a minute though.

    Do you work for VirginMedia tech support?

    My cable modem once broke - physically - the network cable socket snapprd in two making it impossible to plug the cable in. The nice Indian chap I spoke to (at painful length) fastidiously maintained that if I switched it off, left it for one minute and switched it back on again, the socket would somehow miraculously morph back together.

    If you looked at your lunch box it's quite likely that it's wave function would have collapsed. Of course, your lunch box being microscopic would have created a particle / antiparticle pair (entangled of course) with one or the other f**king off (as the fizzysists call it) to a parallel universe. If your box was any larger than microscopic the De Broglie would have had something to say about it and it may have stayed where it was.
    Try firing your lunch box into a two split experiment and check the probability curve of the splases on the screen. You never know there may have been some interference.

    No i don't, but that is the advice that companies like that always give. Virgin, Sky, BT, they all have the same standard B*ll*cks to tell you.

    I once bought a Helsingborg Uncertainty Principle from there. It's a cheaper version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, but with a less decipherable manual, and two screws missing.

    You can't buy the Heisenberg model anymore. Nobody's sure where they put them.

    Mind you, with all that spare cash you could have bought us Deitmar Van Nostrilboy.

    I've just rung my dad's mate Keith

    he's got an eigen and a state - he'll fuse them together with a bit of egg white if you think that might do the trick

    You sure it's not Prince Eugen he's got? The WW II heavy cruiser?

    well he said he'd got one in his shed

    and I'm not sure his shed's big enough for a Hipper-class heavy cruiser unless of course it's in bits in a cardboard box

    If you do find the the Heisenberg model

    for example on e-bay, when you look at it it's not the same as the thing you were looking for. Right waste of money.
