    Quantum superposition and the idea that things can be 2 things at once should not be so difficult to understand; it’s just like human psychology where some people can think a dozen contrary things at once.

    @ The Prof-

    Any talk of any Specific Gravity is wholely and solely to do with the potency of the contents of my cocktails.

     

    Also, I consider that a Milling Machine would be far more useful at beating Specific Gravity into submission than a lathe. So long as the revolutions are kept reasonably low- High speed stirring splits booze particles like Oppenheimer et al split the atom, and tends to cause just as much grief…

    ‘Jackie O has revealed on air that her ex-husband, Lee Henderson, is “in a bad way” after suffering a rare side effect of the Pfizer vaccination against Covid-19.

    In an interview with NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on TheKyle and Jackie O Show this morning, the radio host explained that Henderson had experienced the same rare condition as Channel 7 reporter Denham Hitchcock, who was hospitalised last month with pericarditis.

    The illness causes the tissue surrounding the heart to become inflamed.

    “You’d be aware what has happened to Denham Hitchcock, and my ex-husband has had the same thing. He’s been in hospital and really, really in a bad way after the second Pfizer (shot),” Jackie told the Premier.’

    Well, you could go for the shoulder length Joe Burns look.

    Just needs a smidgen of Kenji Kawai for that extra spot of ambient piquancy.

     

    ‘Nightstalker’ from 1995’s Ghost In The Shell should do it…

    Here’s another testimonial for the Lawn Mower 4.0, from Dipro B. in January.  He gives it five stars out of five, and says:
    ‘The best Body Trimmer I’ve ever used!
    I purchased the Lawnmower 4.0 recently and I must say it’s the ideal body trimmer. The shave quality is outstanding and the chances for cuts are truly minimal to say the least. Additionally the light really comes in handy when you’re dealing with tricky spots but truly even when not using a guard for trimming I had no nicks and cuts or even pricks which other body trimmers produce sometimes as they pinch the hair rather than cutting it.’
    Seriously.  You can’t afford not to get this.

    Like all lefties  you are a natural totalitarian who gets thrills banning people who want to get a haircut
