12th August Schrodinger's Cat

The scientist Erwin Schrodinger was born this date in 1887. He is famous for a thought experiment in which a cat in placed in a sealed box with a vial of poison which may or may not be released and which may or may not kill the cat. Schrodinger's idea was that, until you open the box and look inside, you don't know whether the cat is dead or alive, and so, as long as the box stays shut, it's both. 10 Schrodinger's cat jokes:



  1. Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.
  2. Curiosity may have killed Schrodingers' cat
  3. Life is a series of Schrodinger's boxes.
  4. Schrodinger's parrot. "He's dead." "No, he's just resting."
  5. Do you think Erwin Schrodinger ever actually owned a cat? Well, he did and he didn't
  6. Wanted: Schrodinger's cat. Dead and alive.
  7. Schrödinger gets pulled over for speeding. The cop opens the boot of the car. "Hey" says the cop. "Do you know you have a dead cat in here?" An angry Schrödinger replies "Well I do now."
  8. Schrodinger was arrested for cruelty to animals. His fate is uncertain.
  9. Schrodinger's cat: Think outside the box
  10. Hi, I'm Schrödinger. This is my cat. And he's tired of your worn out jokes. When he hears them he gets depressed and crawls into a box and stays there for days just moping and won't eat or drink. Sometimes I'm afraid to look in the box, not knowing if he'd dead or alive inside. So cease the jokes. Seriously.
