Schrödinger's post?

After I posted Jokes that aren't really all that funny in the end (aka At least SQL Server isn't on our case) and really had a chance to reflect on the fact that I thought the post was going to be quite funny and then before I posted it realized that it really might not be, the whole blog was in a weird place.

The post about to go to live was both funny and not-funny, and until the wave form collapsed and a cat lived or died, there was really no way to know whether it was funny or not.

Reader Bulletmagnet put it all in perspective with a comment:

Perhaps this post is simultaneously funny and unfunny, like:

http://xkcd.com/45/

And indeed I saw the conceptual parallel:

Schrodinger

Shit.

You really need to provide the image "title" attribute for the mouse-rollover gag as well.

(This applies to all xkcd comics)

Done. :-)
