The Sun Seekers

??So in the midst of life we are in make-up???


??In the midst of life we are in sex-change???


??What about the figure on the ground??? Mr. Jay asked, taking control.


??That??s the thing; looking at it, you can??t tell if that person is dead or alive, male or female. It??s like Schr?dinger??s cat turned human.??


A boy, and every class has one like him, Matt the math nerd, quipped, ??I heard that the cat is radioactive, and hence has eighteen half-lives???? Everyone turned and stared at him. He pushed his glasses back up his nose, and smiled eerily. Mr. Jay laughed though.


??I have another one,?? Matt said. ??What did Mrs. Schr?dinger say to Dr. Schr?dinger? ??Erwin! What did you do to the cat? It looks half dead!???? A couple of kids, and Mr. Jay, groaned. He added, ??When you get to the picture of a cat inside a box, that??s mine.??
