    That's odd, because I had a phone call about fifteen minutes ago from a computer voice that asked me where they were, and that's what I told them. It was a lie for security reasons, obviously - my car keys are in my wife's handbag where she put them after using them to scrape something sticky off the kitchen worktop...

      That is why I always try to look in the last place first, it saves so much time. I get funny looks when I start looking for everything in the fridge, including the cat, people, and the garden shed, but it's a system and I'm sticking to it!

      Cats and people do have a tendency to stick around the fridge, so it's inevitable that they end up in there. As for the shed, well, who am I to judge or discriminate. It has the right to do so as any other :). It's a solid system. My system is even simpler, I don't look for anything, I just wait for it to materialize before the eyes of the Observer (me). It works most of the time, given that the item in question is not observed somewhere else...

          Your car keys are neither here nor there, yet they are everywhere. Look within yourself and ye shall find what you seek. :)

            It sounds like a good system. Low effort at least. However, I'm not sure it works: Quantum Mechanics would suggest it doesn't. Since you are observing the place it isn't immediately before the materialization, it can't coalesce there without you looking away first. :-D

                Movie Quote Of The Day

                You know, if you're gonna ask someone to save the world, you'd better make sure they like it the way it is.

                which movie?

                XXX, Wow, that was a movie I have not seen since I was younger... well I mean, never seen! Nope, not seen the Tony Hawk at the party in the beginning, or the club scene with Rammstein, or the silly revolver with a big scope and different kinds of bullets, etc etc.

                  As hard as I try (at least at work) to stare endlessly at the same point in space, I mostly fail to do so; there are so many distractions :sigh: So I guess at some point, I'm looking away to give the lost little b*gger a chance to stop being so superpositiony.

                    I would be a great reverend, especially when I get to the part where I can condemn the sinners. The question is only what church would want to have me :)

                      The best line: Zander to Yulana: I might throw in a few extra dollars and send you to charm school.
