It’s guest week at XKCD, as Randall Munroe deals with a family illness. (Fortunately for the guest artists, it’s relatively easy to mimic his style.) Today’s contribution came from Bill Amend of Foxtrot fame, who gives us what might be the best Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle joke I’ve seen.
There are more.

Poor Werner, he is so stereotyped. This is just a variation on the standard Heisenberg joke. The one I have read most often is the one in which Heisenberg gets caught for speeding, and the policeman asks, “Do you know how fast you were going?” I suppose you can guess WH’s reply.
An alternate punch line might be, “You’re looking straight at them.” :0)
That was hilarious. Who knew FoxTrot grokked the Uncertainty Principle?
Hilarious? Clever maybe, but hilarious?
Groan…
I had to save the circuit diagram, just because of the magic smoke.

He got Heisenberg’s hair exactly right, too.
So how can you “un-know” your momentum information? Hmm?
Of course I’m not sure that helps for long even if you can do it. Darn Heisenberg. Darn keys!
Speaking of comics, Sean, I think you’re in the latest “Abstruse Goose”.
I’d have asked him, “Can you forget how you were last moving them?”
I like the Schrodinger T-shirt I saw recently. The front said “Schrodinger’s cat is dead” and the back of the shirt said “Schrodinger’s cat is alive”.
Oh those Heisenbergs – you never know exactly what trouble they’ll get into next. My favorite though is still the old Dresden Codak comic, Lil’ Werner.
