Katie Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Did anyone happen to see this in a copy of last week's Metro? http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?...mp;in_page_id=2 Kind of odd don't you think, hanging curtains in the nude. And then managing to slip and hit the bullseye with a potato that just happens to be lying around.... Edited November 2, 2008 by Katie Quote Just because you can, does'nt mean you should.

Iconic Ride Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) According to the laws of quantum mechanics (Heisenberg's uncertainty priciple, etc.) there is a small (and I do mean small, as in "googleplex" powers of 10 sized fractions), but nonetheless measurable probability that an ordinary object can reappear spontaneously on the other side of a brick wall (or whatever barrier you happen to choose).* The smaller the object the better the odds. Modern electronic devices actually depend, at the atomic level, on this phenomenon ("quantum tunneling") in order to operate. For an object the size of a potato the odds against would be extremely high, but if you were willing to wait long enough (perhaps the age of the Universe, and then some), and put up with observing a zillion "false starts" (akin to watching the proverbial "infinite" # of monkeys pounding away at an equal # of keyboards getting within one letter of reproducing the Encylopedia Brittainica and "blowing it"), this event would happen. But here's the thing: just because the odds dictate an "average" expected length of time for the event to occur, it does not necessarily follow that it will actually take that long---only on average. It could take longer, or in the case of the good Reverend, a much shorter time. He apparently beat the odds by a significant margin. *roughly the same odds as finding a wing on the back of Roger's Esprit Edited November 4, 2008 by Iconic Ride Quote Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.

Gold FFM mayevora Posted November 3, 2008 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Maybe he had both hands full holding the curtains, and was then holding the potato pealer where he shouldn't have - ie taking multi-tasking to another level?

USAndretti42 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I was thinking he could mash the potatoes and make them softer to land on but he may end up just using it to mashturbate!
