European Tribune - Comments - Odds & Ends: Slippery Slope to Utopia Edition

Odds & Ends: Slippery Slope to Utopia Edition | 49 comments (49 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Not knowing much about Utopia, or Russia Today, or cat-boxes, any comment i made would border on the ridiculous.

At least i know when i'm in the presence of "brilliant writer's mind."

Did Camus or Joyce or Anton Wilson have cat-boxes? Thomas More probably had two.

Re: What to Say? (4.00 / 2)

The problem with cat boxes is that the cat is both in the box AND not in the box at the same time. That must be traumatic for an animal.

Poor quantum kitty. Maybe in a parallel universe her box is always clean.

BTW, I've not ruled out the "parallel universe" theory to explain my experience of NBC airing Russian propaganda like it's no big deal.

Re: What to Say? (4.00 / 2)

The thing about Schrodingers thought experiment is it misses out the practicality of getting the cat into the box in the first place.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
