    (Unintended?) joke of the day

    This quote:

    "He said all the evidence the company has indicates that the device is performing quantum computations, but he acknowledged there is some uncertainty."

    is to be found in this article.

    I wept.

    Tears of laughter.

    Just because we're not laughing doesn't mean we don't understand Barry

    It wasn't the lack of laughter I was pointing to it was the lack of response...

    How lucky then that you have responded twice to your own thread.

    Come on Barry.......we keep poking you with a stick, but you have stopped growling.

    I grinned. And sort of snorted a bit. I didn't realise I need to type that I did, though. Does that help?

    are you sure about that? You sound a little uncertain?

    I would join Ducasi in his "Weak smiling" but it I'm in two minds about it..

    Have little humour at the moment.. with a sick hamster I'm a bit scared to look in her nest. She may be both dead and not dead.. much like schrodinger's cat
