'Many Worlds, Many Treats'

Linked by wacko1138:

'I'm sitting at the computer typing, when the dog bumps up against my legs. I look down, and she's sniffing the floor around my feet intently.

'"What are you doing down there?"

'"I'm looking for steak!" she says, wagging her tail hopefully.

'"I'm pretty certain that there's no steak down there," I say. "I've never eaten steak at the computer, and I've certainly never dropped any on the floor."

'"You did in some universe," she says, still sniffing.'

It's a pretty funny, pretty astute formulation, though missing one thing, as far as I can see. Ten awesome points to the person who figures it out, first.

I read that yesterday and it made me think of this book.

HAH someone else around here reads metafilter.

Im a pretty regular reader of that blog, and its fucking funny when he writes those.

I am particularly fond of the bunnies made of cheese.

That blog. Is AWESOME.

And I can't figure it out. Unless it's what he told the dog, about stuff not making the jump from universe to universe. :P

You win 6.4 awesome points. :) It's specifically the question of how we can even hope to understand or verify the fundamentals of the multiverse, if we can't interact with it.
