Quantum Mice

Quantum Mice

I can hear their little feet in the cupboard. Not in my cupboard; I don't even own a cup to put into one, nor a house to put the cupboard into. I almost wish it was mine, so I could hear them tap dancing their little hearts out all the time. That's what they do, until I fling open the doors and ruin their fun.

Which is exactly what I did a couple nights ago...I was hoping to catch one singing "Hello, My Baby." No such luck. The little guy did put on quite a show, though: running to the left side of the cupboard, then to the right, then hopping straight into the air. Having nearly exhausted it's repertoire of evasive mouse actions, it bravely decided to defy the laws of classic physics and jump through a solid wall (solid wall being the side of the cupboard (no cracks)). And succeeded!

I'd write it off to quantum tunneling, except most physicists are unwilling to accept objects as large as field mice into the realm of subatomic phenomena. I'll show them. I'd write it off to the massive amounts of drugs, except I just remembered I don't do any (of hallucinogenic value). My friends tell me I don't need to, whatever that means. All I know is that I have to throw out everything I thought I knew about kitchen cupboards and/or field mice, and start from the beginning.

Wish me luck on my quest.
