loki

Not a homosexual or a cheater or anything. Originally, Norse god of lies and trickery, father of Fenrir and Hel and the great serpent Jormungand. Loki tricked the blind god Hodur into killing Baldur, and later posed as the giantess Thokk to prevent Baldur's return to life. On Ragnorak, Fenrir will swallow the All-Father, but Odin's son Vidar will tear the great wolf to pieces. Thor will smash Jormungand's head in with Mjolnir, his great hammer, but will be poisoned by the dying serpent and will die after walking nine paces. Hel's fate is not known.

Utgard-Loki's cat is too heavy even for Thor to lift!

REMF

Rear Echelon Mother Fucker. One who has no frontline or combat experience, and therefore makes huge errors at expense of human life.

The REMF's decisions make sense only if you think of human beings as statistics. This is the main problem with REMFs- they think of people as numbers.

Shit! That REMF canceled the supply drop! We're on our own for this one!

Schroedinger's Cat

A cat which is neither alive nor dead, but rather in a state of stasis, in a box. There is also in the box a geiger counter and a tiny radioactive particle, the counter wired to a vial of hydrochloric acid (that got your attention). After a set amount of time, the particle is 50% likely to decay, setting off a mechanism triggered by the geiger counter which smashes the vial and kills the cat. Supposedly, after that set amount of time, if no one looks in the box, the whole system is in a state of stasis because the cat is 50% likely to be alive and 505 likely to be dead, and is thus neither alive nor dead, but both. At least, until someone opens rhe box. There are all sorts of conundrums associated with this thesis, and it is very controversial.

Poor kitty... neither alive nor dead...
