A hat that, when worn, may apply anti-baldness cures (Finasteride, Minoxidil, Dutasteride, vasodilatory massage and heat treatments, etc.) to your head.
Some of these will work and the wearer will appear more hirsute than prior to wearing the hat.
In other cases there may well be a negative reaction,
resulting in a sharp decrease in tonsorial tenacity.
(i.e. You may or may not end up as bald as a buzzard, but at least the process will be accelerated to a hasty conclusion... the result unknown if you keep it under your hat.)

but even the intermediate states might be observable |
|
| |
Not if you have the hat on, they won't. |
|
| |
Just to pre-empt any echo-like ideas
Schrödinger's Bat - simultaneously a rather hefty piece of willow, and a nocturnal cave-dwelling airborne mammal
Schrödinger's Chat - a discussion with someone that results in you being entirely unaware of whether they vehemently agree with you or not.
Schrödinger's Fat - a kind of quantum-uncertainty based dietary plan
Schrödinger's Latté - a cup of coffee (or should that be two?) that is both full and empty at the same time
Schrödinger's Mat - simultaneously displays "Welcome" and "Fock Off", causing vexation to those visitors least comfortable with the workings of the Uncertainty Principle.
Schrödinger's Paté - a kind of paté that can be served to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike
Schrödinger's Qatar - an Arabian state that provides a friendly environment and generous funding to Theoretical Physicists - while simultaneously persecuting and eradicating Theoretical Physicists.
Schrödinger's Rat's Arse - tba
Schrödinger's Syndicat d'Initiative - a French tourist bureau that both welcomes and provides a frosty reception to foreign tourists.
Schrödinger's Tat - rubbish sold in the gift shops of Theoretical Physics Departments.
Schrödinger's Vat - a container full of indeterminate stuff
Schrödinger's What? - what someone hard of hearing (or hard of understanding) might say when first being told about cats, boxes and indeterminacy.
Schrödinger's Zat - a reference to the famous Bolton Wanderers player about whom rumours may have been spread regarding funding from indeterminate Austrian sources. |
|
| |
You missed Schrödinger's Twat: A smartarse prick who goes about pretending to be a philandering Austrian genius who's neither here nor there. |
|
| |
//a philandering Austrian genius// "a philandering Austrian genius's assistant" surely? |
|
| |
Ah, I see [theleopard] has found an alternate reading too. |
|
| |
Is there a tiny mosquito in that closed room?
Not
sure. |
|
| |
I was tempted to use a slightly less charming interpretation of twat... much as Arthur March might have. |
|
| |
March was Schrödinger's Prat; the man whom Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger cuckolded, leading to the birth of Schrödinger's Brat (a child who was probably his) by March's wife, in the mid-1930s. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Flat; an ideal place to live in these uncertain times... pets welcome. |
|
| |
If Erwin were ever uncouth enough to have spat in a pirate's chest (the open and shut kind), it might have been described as Schrödinger's Catarrh. |
|
| |
Perhaps after chewing the leaves of a tree endemic to the northeast coast of Africa, helping you believe you are invisible: Schrödinger's Ghat. |
|
| |
Relatively obscure rule in cricket determining certain conditions under which someone can be declared out (or in) - Schrödinger's Owzat! |
|
| |
Schrödinger's pat, does not exist until you step in it |
|
| |
My favorite derivative is still the B&B "If a band played in a forest and they really sucked, would anybody care ?" |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Gat - a gun that may or may not be loaded with blanks. |
|
| |
Schrödinger Shat - or maybe not. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's brat - a troublesome child that screams if locked in a sealed room with a radioactive vial |
|
| |
Surely it should just be "Schrödinger's "? |
|
| |
I think Schrödinger's vat should be full of a bubbling
liquid that sometimes eats alive anything and
everything in to it, or cleans it and makes it smell like
lilacs. |
|
| |
ummm... has anyone ever seen a lilac? |
|
| |
I already did brat, [pocmloc]. Though yours is less literal than mine. |
|
| |
Sorry [UnaBubba]. Is //less literal// good or bad? |
|
| |
Schrödinger's slat, so thin edge-on that it almost disappears from view. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's sprat, can be fed to the cat or eaten in a sandwich, depending. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's splat, the technical term for the broken vial. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Scat : is the flaming paper bag left on the doorstep by a prankster "live" ? |
|
| |
And to think it was all inspired by a late-night TV ad by Shane Warne, for hair replacement therapy. Wow! |
|
| |
Schrodinger's@ - a forwarding address for unread emails. |
|
| |
I can't believe that you, [zen_tom], of all people - being the dapper chap that you are, missed out Schrödinger's Cravat. (Is it a tie or is it a scarf?) |
|
| |
Schrödinger's proletariat: A shadowy race of otherwise ordinary people whose voice is rarely heard and who are practically invisible to the bourgeois. |
|
| |
Did someone just say something? |
|
| |
Now that we've exhausted all of the words we can pretend rhyme with cat, I would also add that I got my barber to shave my head today, after thinking about this idea and deciding to find out what the opposite state felt like... sunburn, if I'm not more careful. |
|
| |
//exhausted all of the words we can pretend rhyme with cat// are you throwing down the Schrödinger's Gauntlat? (ok, that one is particularly crummy) |
|
| |
A friend of mine once shaved their head, and being exceptionally tall, complained of constantly feeling as though he was running into cobwebs - I'm not sure if he was imagining them though. |
|
| |
It's very strange. People you don't know but have met before seem to have a strange compulsion to run their hand over your head. Two of the women at the local fruit shop and a real estate salesman whom I barely know, all within the space of an hour of me having it shaved. |
|
| |
I'm so glad I'm not also pregnant and forced to endure weirdos touchng my stomach. That used to make my wife particularly angry, when pervy old men (and women) would touch her belly and wish the baby good luck. |
|
| |
Happens all the time to me too - good ol' high and tight from the barber on base means everybody has to run their hand over your scalp for the next week. I've found that if you make a strange noise or purring sound when people start rubbing your head, it tends to make them leave you alone. |
|
| |
Only SOME of them, [Clapper]. |
|
| |
//we've exhausted all of the words we can pretend rhyme with cat//
Au contraire!
SchrödingerSat - an orbital weapons platform carrying a tightly focused, high energy, anti-feline, laser death ray.
Also, I'd like to redefine Flying Toaster's 'Schrödinger's Scat' - a way of singing along to Jazz music which may, or may not, contain real words. |
|
| |
<hmmph> fine, in that case I'm comandeering [CaptainClapper]'s "Schrödinger Shat" to be redefined as
"that moment after a very satisfying bout of flatulence when you have to check to see if you've 'gone too far'". |
|
| |
also...
Schrödinger's 'Drat' - "okay where'd the damn cat go ?" |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Lat.: East or West? |
|
| |
Schrödinger's buat: you can't tell if it is a lantern, or just the moon. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Gat(ling gun)
Schrödinger's CatGat (see link). |
|
| |
I'm afraid the Gat was done by [CaptainClapper] on Oct 13. Anyway shouldn't a catgat consist of a rotating stack of cat travel cages, with a water-pistol mounted to discharge into whichever is topmost? |
|
| |
//Schrödinger's Lat.: East or West? // |
|
| |
Huh? That would be Schrödinger's Schlöng, shirley? |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Lats: Bulging muscles that randomly disappear and reappear. |
|
| |
Suggested new category: Science: Physics: Physicists: Schrödinger. |
|
| |
This category may or may not contain ideas. You don't know until you look in there. |
|
| |
[UB], I would have thought the uncertainty there would be left, or right? You don't know 'till you open up and take a peek... |
|
| |
Schrödinger's __at: There is uncertainty as to what this
Schrödingerishly derivative idea is. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Qanat: A wet and dry underground viaduct. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Diktat: What it is, like it or not. |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Ducat: Pieces of 0, 4 & 8 |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Frat: dx . dp >or= h/2 |
|
| |
Shrödlingers.... folk who might or might not be hanging around doing nothing, or might or might not be hanging around doing something. As in the following encounter:
"What are you doing over here?" "Shrödlingering"
"Well do it over there instead." "I am doing it over there."
"Stop it then!" "I haven't started yet"
"Started what?" "Shrödlingering" |
|
| |
Quick thought: in regard to all of our posts, wouldn't they all be doing something AND not doing something at the same time, rather than "either/or, maybe"? |
|
| |
As in, the cat is both dead and alive at the same time... so the wearer of the Schröd' Hat would be both bald and majestically hirsute (great word, [UB]) at the same time, right? |
|
| |
Shrodingers dog: both smelly and stupid at the same
time. |
|
| |
Schrödingerling: a little bell that signals that the cat has become either dead or alive. It dings again to signal the collapse of the uncertainty when a faint miaowing is heard through the sealed box. |
|
| |
As I said, in the parentheses, [CC]... the result remains unknown as long as you keep it under your hat. |
|
| |
Good enough for me, but I can only bun once. |
|
| |
Remember, [UB], that some theoretical physicists theorise that the *actual* state is both on/off at the same time - not just in terms of probability of outcome that we happen to discover upon wearing the hat/opening the box... |
|
| |
{Nutters the lot of them. 'String' 'em up, that's what I say.} |
|
| |
Try telling that to the cat |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Hat: A halfbakery idea that is. And isn't. |
|
| |
I'm surprised I didn't vote for this. Odd. [+] |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Flat... a tyre that is in an indeterminate state of inflation, until you get out of the car to look at it. |
|
| |
Will this idea bring an end to Schrödinger's halfbakery omniscience?
Can we finally put it to sleep? |
|
| |
Schrödinger's Twat: Not to be confused with Sharon Stone's (did I really see that or not?) one. |
|
| |
Ring a bell and Schrödinger's cat runs away as the dogs arrive. |
|
| |
Shrodinger's!?. Is it a declaration, an inquisition, or merely a
statement? One may never know... |
|
| |
Schrödinger's gratin: half-baked |
|
| |
Schröpelganger: what you see when you look in a mirror? |
|
| |
Little Red Schröding Hood: is simultaneously a sweet innocent little girl and a ravening wolf; you don't discover which until you pull down the hood. |
|
| |
Shrø what: I don't care whether your cat is dead or not. |
|
| |
Shrodinger's Sadness... a buttersweet moment. Did I deliberately
spell that like I did, or did I miss a stroke trying to hit the "I"?
You may never know... |
