Entry: Pet-Sitting for Atomic Physicists -- A Cautionary Guide (In Bad-Haiku Form) - A50320658

Um, maybe this should be in 'Alternative Writing Workshop'. It's finished, but it's not a 'factual description' sort of thing. I think it's more 'Underguide' material. However, being famished and ready to jump off this computer, and weary of reading the various links re where/how to submit an entry, I'm going to live dangerously and just post this to 'Peer Review'. I do have stuff, I'm sure, that I'd like to 'work out' in the Workshop, but this particular puppy's ready to roll. Even if it rolls down to that lovely underbelly, the UG.

Hope you enjoy...

Cheers,
BeccaP.

Definitely should be in the Alternative Workshop rather than Peer Review.

Hi -- still online, unbelievably --

Sorry 'bout that. -- I just tried to resubmit it, choosing 'Alternative Writing Wkshop' this time, but couldn't -- even when typing it in anew. Clearly I just have to log off (and get something to eat) and do this again in the next couple days. -- Unless you guys just sort of shuffle it on to the AWW without my doing anything? Please let me know if I need to 'resubmit' it (to AWW), or not...

Thanks!

BeccaP. (not always online everyday)

The following should be my 'First Comment' post for my submission. In case the piece gets 'sent' to AWW without my having to do anything, plz do include this paragraph below as my 'introductory' post... sorry about the confusion. --If I have to resubmit it myself, I'll just put the paragraph in as the first 'discussion' post when I do. Thanks!! -B.


This is something I scribbled a few weeks ago, amidst much (Bad-) Haikuing elsewhere on the Net, but never posted. I think it might be amusing. Particularly if one is a little bit conversant with at least a teeny bit of quantum physics references -- on strictly the layperson's level I mean, hey I'm a musician! -- such as the Schrodinger's Cat thought-experiment, the Uncertainty Principle, the tidbit about Einstein NOT liking the whole 'random' dice-throwing aspect of quantum theory, the fact that Einstein used 'train' analogies to illustrate relativity, etc. Hoping someone gets a chuckle out of it. (One has to open the box to find out, though, eh? They are either laughing... or not laughing. Or both at the same time perhaps, with a casual wave function determining humor probability.... until we open that dang box and take a look in, of course!) Thanks -- Cheers, BeccaP.

You have to remove it from Peer Review before you can submit it to the Alternative Writing Workshop, because it can't be in two places at the same time.

Very appropriately!

It'll be great in AWW, I'll give more comments once it's found its way

Now in AWW: F74130?thread=6515243
