(I used to assume Schroedinger’s Cat was intended to show the absurdity of the modern interpretation of quantum mechanics. Then I learned, no, Schroedinger really, really believed the cat is neither alive nor dead until you look. Ironically, that also shows the absurdity of the modern interpetation of quantum mechanics.)

I use Schrödinger’s principle on lotto tickets. Until I check the numbers it’s neither a winner nor a loser. (Of course it’s always a loser.)
