I just opened my window. [Due to the temparature at my desk exceeding
26°C.] It's still raining outside. As I held my head out of the window,
I noticed a thin layer of green slime on the PVC windowsil.
There's a small puddle of water there, and presumably an abundance of
light, and this powers simple photosynthetic organisms. Algae, I would
think. [Heaven only knows where it gets nutrients from...]
I wonder... would it be safe to eat this stuff? Is it nutritious? Mmm,
interesting...

Ummm if in doubt, no. To put it another way think of the conversation at
the hospital...
"So sir, you seem to have a mild case of food poisoning. Can you think of
something you've eaten recently that could have caused that?"
"I'm not sure. There was this green slime that had formed outside my
window at work; I did had a quick taste of that"

Hmm, yes...

Well, it's fresh rainwater. :-P And I was thinking more about the algae
growing in it...
Still, I would think it wouldn't feed you for very long.

Actually no. No matter what PC advocates want to claim, there are
differences (in average) between the male and female way of thinking.
Males are (again, in average) risk-takers while females aren't. Males
present much more often extreme behavior than females. For example the
majority of scientifical geniuses are male, as well as the majority of
serial killers. Males are usually the ones who take big risks eg. in
business, while females usually don't. (And no, individual counter-examples
do not nullify the average.)
It has nothing to do with stupidity.

And you didn't try to smear it at your body?
Would have been interesting when the algae would have shown an interest in

I much the same manner as I've been wondering if the green/white lump in
the back of the fridge is a piece of forgotten blue cheese or something
that will begin showing intelligence any day now.
Care to give that a taste while you're at it and render an opinion? ;)
As someone else said. Imagine the conversation at the hospital, then
imagine the roaring laughter of the doctors and staff ...

So, I was just sitting here thinking, "Oh, that's cool--there's a link
to the Schrödinger's cat article. Then it occurred to me, "Wait a
minute, waaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiit a minute........It doesn't matter
whether or not Schrödinger's Lab Assistant looks in the box, because the
*cat* knows what happened." But then I thought, "...unless he's dead,
for, as noted in the book of Ecclesiastes, 'the dead know not anything.'"
Sooooooooo.......If the cat's alive, he *thinks* he's alive, therefore
he thinks, therefore he am--erm, "is." But if the cat's dead, he
doesn't know it, therefore he's indeterminate and not actually dead at
all. Then, of course, there's the possibility that every time you put a
cat in a box, you create a parallel universe. But, hey, every time I
run my can opener, an angel gets its wings.
Oh, that reminds me, it's time to feed the cats.

That was exactly the point of the thought-experiment. At what level of
sophistication does the "observer" collapse the possibilities? The
argument was over whether having instruments there was sufficient to
"collapse the wave form", or whether someone actually had to look at the
instruments.

Around here it normally goes "but satisfaction brought it back". Heard it
all my life, just goes to show how some 'common' sayings aren't really
considered in a wider context. Unlike "all round the Wrekin" which is
definitely local.

Yes by definition any male opinion is wrong regardless of location or
audience.

But pointing again to the cat's point of view.
What's about, if you are yourself in a box, all is black, you can't see
anything? Just thinking, in absolute darkness. Nobody can hear you. (So you
don't ecxist for other observers outside of the box.)
You can think, so you are.
But what are you? - You can't see anything.
How long can you preserve your mind?

So you are inside the box.
You can't see anything.
And you are the cat?
Where do you know from, that you should "kick butt 'till you get out"? :-)

Cats don't need to know they just do or don't as they feel fit.

I am the cat in the box.
I am the box.
I am the chainsaw.
I am the--oh, hell, I wish I had some weed. Bet I could think some

I am the butt-kicking chainsaw-wielding cat in the box. Beware the cat.

What about, if you are a cat looking into the mirror?
You won't realize that's you.
But if you were an elephant, dophin, primate or a very clever magpie, you could

Oh, that's me. Ah, I'm existing.
Oh, one more mistake. That elephant won't fit into the box.

Be nice, chainsaw-wielding cat!
Hm, what's about that:
I'm the darkness around you, cat!
Beware the darkness. :-)

You might add mice to that list. They can contemplate questions and
determine if they think they know the answer. Give one enough time with
a mirror and it might reach the same conclusion.
Knowing they exist should make them more fearful of cats. Maybe the mice
are just convinced that cats don't exist.

Ah, I didn't know that.
That makes it more incomprehensible, why many scientists are still testing
chemicals at animals.
Wasn't there an old theory, talking about the difference between human and
animal, because humans are able to think about themselves and expressing
feelings?
It might really be time to change that.

:) Could really be.
Or they are very clever psychologists.
Giving the cats the feeling, that they don't exist and making them depressed, so
that they won't want to hunt them anymore.

It makes sense to me.
But did you read the subtext?
