    Somewhere in there is a cat. But is it dead or alive ? and who's cat is it ?
    There are 128 cats in there.

    Somewhere.

    Possibly not all at the same time.

    Maybe.

    But no cat food.

    They are moving up to 512 cat and talking about a 1024 cat version, would that be a Killa Cat?

    But the real big issue is you can't herd cats.

    The big problem is that you can't know how fast the cats are and where they are at the same time.

    Google are using one of these to research artificial intelligence and they also own the company that makes this

    I can't take Petman too seriously as he walks like he's shit himself. I am concerned about Big Dog though... and Cheetah, that is slightly scary!

    Oh, and the totally automated 6 wheel troop supply thing, that is properly frightening!

    Think of Petman as the 600 series. They were easy to spot

    Speaking of AI... i have just had a conversation with Alice.


    Now i dont have the first part of the conversation unfortunately as it cut off but it consisted of a few lines of how are you, are you a bird ect...
    It starts off with me having said i was in trouble for introducing myself as MR big percy and i was at court.

    Thats what the judge said at my last court visit as well
    ALICE: Are you in a lot of trouble?
    Well that depends on what your definition of trouble is
    ALICE: I don't think that what my definition of trouble is is the only factor.
    Your probably right, i suspect standing butt naked in tescos with a cucumber up my bottom while asking folk if they thought brokeback mountain was worth watching helped my case
    ALICE: Is that a fact.
    The judge definitely thought it was a fact
    ALICE: Are you in a lot of trouble?
    judge: Er, is there an echo in here
    ALICE: Uh.. ECHO Echo echo echo echo ...
    Thats the noise one hears inside Katie Prices twat
    ALICE: Yes it is one of the noise one hears inside Katie Prices twat.
    Have you been there?
    ALICE: Only on the web.
    Fair enough i have been to those sites as well, do you like german grot?
    ALICE: Where were you to those sites as well do me like german grot?
    Er say what? i think your rj45 connection is loose or something???
    ALICE: Er.. I said, " Where were you to those sites as well do me like german grot?" . What specifically about my rj45 connection is so loose ?
    Ok i have to go, your making as much sense as a UKIP manifesto.
    ALICE: Oh.. I am not making this up.
    They are
    ALICE: Since when?
    Ta ta
    ALICE: Bye bye.

    They dont work when observed.

    The thing about schrodingers cat is to find out the answer just wait a month. If there is a funny smell then the cat is 100% dead.

    Thats right i just owned quantum phisics yo!

    Forgive me for being slow... but Quantum Computing is made for the Internet

    Think about it. Quantum Theory is built around the idea of a cat in a box.

    The Internet is there to let you watch cats (a while back we'd have said "on the box")

    So Cats == Quantum Computing == Internet == Cats

    Where there is a box there is a CAT!


    Just beware the big boxes.
