No I suppose it'd refer to a syrup if you turned it upside down! Then we'd have to stop saying down under - would that become "up under" then?

So then Rob, what is the topic for today? Schrodinger's cat? French Wine vs Australian? Would Magnus Carlsen beat Garry Kasparov and would the modern Grand Master, Viswanathan Anand, beat them both? The economic fallout of the Australian dollar now being worth far more than the American greenback? Does the Universe's expansion since the big bang indicate that the speed of light has varied over time? Why is belly button fluff blue in colour?
Black Holes happen when God divides by zero.

Talking of Schrodinger' s Cat ..........
If Schroedinger's Cat walks into a forest, and no one is around to observe it, is he really in the forest?

Depends -- does the cat see itself or does the forest see the cat

Middle C has to be in line with your bellybutton
Bit like learning to touch type and keeping your fingers on the "home keys"
