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...)

With our three cats, that doesn't seem infeasible. They seem to prefer
spending all their time in the various boxes we've left around the house
for them.

From this whole exercise I must conclude that the "Clean Desk" movement
has gotten nowhere at all :-) At my office somewhen during the nineties
that was the policy; it didn't work of course.
So, what do I surround me with? Papers (lots of) from snippets (1x5 cm)
to A4 format; books (also paper, but different, as those from an older
generation know); a tea mug (full); a piece of toasted bread; a torture
instrument to pierce holes in paper sheets; two rulers for different
scales (e.g. 1:250 1:500 1:1250); two pens; a PC + screen; soundboxes.
Not properly on the desktop but within reach on a shelf, are more papers
and books; a box with an assorted collection of desktop junk like
scissors and staples etc; a pack of playing cards and a pack of Tarot
cards; a couple of notebooks (paper); a thermometer; two external drives.
I may have forgotten some items.... :-)
