  1. Quantum calamari. If you know what it is, you can’t find it. If you bump into it, you don’t know what it is. Lock it in a box with a carving knife, it becomes 50% squid, 50% calamari. But never unlock the box, because it’ll turn into an angry squid with a knife. No bueno.

    • I once wrestled with an angry squid off the coast of St. Lucia and the squid had 9 knives coming at me somewhere between half-light speed and light speed but my speargun- spear struck him right in the eyeball, or at least I think that was his eyeball…and I escaped back to the catamaran with a dude handing me a Pina Colada while laughing uncontrollably.

      “Ink Jet!
      Was your father as bold as a surging matrix?
      How come dot printers just were not bold enough yet?…
      And Ink Jet …
      I thought the breakthrough was a little latex
      Stuff through a jet!”
