Schrödinger's cock: a cock, a flask of whiskey, and a porno magazine are placed in a sealed box. If an externalal monitor detects alcohol, the flask is shattered, releasing the whiskey, which kills the boner. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cock is simultaneously erect and flacid. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cock either erect or flacid not both erect and flacid. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other.Schrödinger's cock is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935.1 It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects. The scenario presents a cock that may be simultaneously both erect and flacid,2345678 a state known as a quantum superposition, as a result of being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. The thought experiment is also often featured in theoretical discussions of the interpretations of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger coined the term Verschränkung (entanglement) in the course of developing the thought experiment.

Get the schrödinger's cock mug.An epic fail by Urban Dictionary as Work of the Day for Oct 4th 2014.
The definition read:
"An emoticon that shows both happy and sad faces. i.e. ):(
The Internet is a horrible and wonderful place ):( <--"
However this aforementioned emoticon does not contain a happy face; it is merely two sad faces. The correct emoticon should be either " (:( " or " ):) "

Get the schrödinger's emoticon mug.An experiment devised on 1935 where a cat is placed in a steel box along with a Geiger counter, a vial of poison, a hammer, and a radioactive substance. When the radioactive substance decays, the Geiger detects it and triggers the hammer to release the poison, which subsequently kills the cat. The radioactive decay is a random process, and there is no way to predict when it will happen. Physicists say the atom exists in a state known as a superposition—both decayed and not decayed at the same time.
Until the box is opened, an observer doesn't know whether the cat is alive or dead—because the cat's fate is intrinsically tied to whether or not the atom has decayed and the cat would, as Schrödinger put it, be "living and dead ... in equal parts" until it is observed.

According to Shrodingers Cat, we can never know whether a Christmas present contains a game or movie CD until you open it.

Get the Shrodingers Cat mug.The cat is both here and not here, while simultaneously being neither here, nor there. The cat cannot be nowhere, yet the cat is not everywhere. However, it may be anywhere, but it can only be somewhere. So, where is it?
"C'mon, just give up, already! You've been looking for that thing for hours! You might as well be looking for Schrodinger's Cheshire Cat!"
"But it has to be here. I've already looked everywhere, and I haven't found it anywhere. Perhaps if I start looking nowhere, I may end up finding it somewhere!"
"I swear you've gone mad, Bro."
"Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad, here."
