- I think I may have told this story before, but we're on the subject of
- attics and heating vents and the like... I got Clio from a friend of mine
- at school, and picked her up from his dorm room on a Sunday evening before
- heading to a study group for my quantum physics class. We were studying
- in a study room on the top floor of the dorm, and decided Clio would be
- fine running around in the big, open, empty room. Halfway through our
- review of the Schrodinger thought experiment (yes, the cat one, and no, I
- am not making this up), we realized Clio was missing... turns out this big
- empty room had big empty heating ducts which connected it with five other
- big empty rooms and twenty dorm rooms on that side of the building.
- Luckily, she had only ventured as far as the next study room, where some
- very confused science students were eyeing her warily. We walked in,
- thanked them for watching her, and returned to Schrodinger...
