qotd, cat in a box
August 12, 2011
"In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious."
-- Terry Pratchett's Lords and Ladies, which I've been listening to on my morning runs when I haven't had any new podcasts. Eventually, I'll finish it and you'll be spared the quotes.
But I like the quotes. :) That's one of my faves.
