In order to see how learned in random knowledge you guys are, I want to see if anyone gets these two joke-pictures.
Have fun!
Have fun!
Figure THIS one out.

No cats not dead and humans are basicly computers, brain is the cpu, the short term memory is the RAM, the harddrive is the long term memory, the video card is the eyes, the mouth is the sound card, can go on farever 
Dunno dont shoot me thats what I gathered from the pic's lol

NO! dangit!
Mkay. The cat one is like this:
Schr?dinger was a philosopher from Germany. He proposed a logical contradiction, which ran like this: If the outcome of an experiment is determined entirely randomly, and observing the outcome would disrupt the experiment, then all possible outcomes are true.
His experiment was thus:
You put a cat in a sealed box. Also in the box is a sealed bottle of poison and a hammer on a string positioned such that if the string breaks, the hammer smashes the bottle and the cat dies. A string-cutting device is attached to the string, and it decides to cut the string based on the random emissions from this atomic thingy. There is an exactly 50% chance of the string breaking, the hammer falling, and the cat dying. You take all this, seal it in a box, and never see it again. The cat is both dead and not dead.
The computer picture is more common, so I'll see if more people can figure it out. You had an idea similar to its meaning e MpTy, but not exactly.

ohhh hahahah wow im soooo off! i thought it was like choose a for yes b for no and he said c like in spanish SI i fail
the schrodinger's cat picture (2nd one):
erwin schrodinger was actually a german physicist. the original incarnation was that one uranium atom was placed in a sealed container with the cat; if the uranium decayed, it would trigger a mechanism to release a poison gas and kill the cat. You could not look into the container for one hour, so until you could look in, it was impossible to know if the cat was dead or alive because atomic decay is a completely random event.
first picture (turing test):
the turing test (named after computer scientist alan turing) is a test in which two contestants, one human and one computer, attempt to convince a human examiner only through the use of plain-text communication that they are human and the other competitor is a computer. so it's a person pretending to be a person and a computer pretending to be a person. so the "you fail" side of the picture depicts a human pretending to be a computer, i.e. doing it wrong.

I'm considering naming our next cat Schrodinger...the wife does not approve.

Well done! I didn't know about the uranium thing, and I did a report on the guy! Also, that picture IS win.

Knew them both.
