Well, /if/ Schrodinger's kitty ever turns out to be /definitely/ dead, 
then it /will/ be curiosity that killed it. Without a cruel curious 
observer to open the box to look, kitty could exist happily ever after 
in a state of comfy uncertainty.

(Note that Schrodinger's though experiment is terribly bogus; as he 
noted himself, the idea of a feline being alive /and/ dead at the same 
time is ridiculous enough, but the mere thought of any box providing no 
conceivable escape route for a cat really tops it off. Now a canine, 
that would be an entirely different story...)
