I made a discovery just now, one of those Achimedes-streaking-through-the-streets-yelling-Eureka! sorts of things. I noticed, as I glanced in the mens' room mirror after washing my hands, that my shirt was covered with cat hair. Now, ordinarily you would almost expect this to be the case, given the preponderance of felines at Stately Eight Bit Manor&tm;. However, I would swear to you on a stack of Bibles taller than Joakim Noah that my shirt was unbesmirched by feline fur when I left for work this morning. Yet now, at work, absent any cats, I am mysteriously bedecked in kitty sheddings.
In the finest traditions of modern science passed from this initial observation through all of 30 seconds of a (hardly Einsteinian but surely respectable by any reasonable meterstick) intense gedankenexperiment to posit the existence of a probably noticed but hereby uncatalogued quantum-mechanical process which I have dubbed...
