Dee: <<<Oh, no!  We might want to post up the link to that wonderful post
someone did SOOOO long ago when I inquired "what was the cat, why was it so
special, etc..."  I think Simon was one of the posters.  Not certain of the
others, but it did change the way I look at Cat's and Boxes.>>>

Melanie: <<<Yes, please!  I'm afraid I don't get the thing about the
cat/hippogriff--it's not dead until it's observed to be dead?  What about
objective reality?  Or is it all subjective?>>>

The description of the hypothetical Schrodinger's Cat experiment is contained
in message 1328 (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/1328).

Other messages on the topic: 1321, 1323, 1325, 1326, 1329, 1330, 1331, 1332,
1333, 1335, 1336, 1339, 1343, 1348, 1352, 1356 and 1361
I have not reread any of these extra messages so I do not know how relevant
they are to the topic - they are all the ones mentioning Schrodinger.

Robert: <<<Well, I'm baffled; I looked up _Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find
Them_ and I don't see _anything_ about Schnoogles, but are they perhaps the
same as Puffskeins?>>>

Schnoogles - the great debate reopens. This is a term derived in fanfic to
describe a sort of hug. Since then it has started to enter into the vocabulary
of some members of the group, much to the confusion of others.
