Alive or Dead?

[khalsa1430]

I put my cat in a sealed box with a small flask of hydrocyanic acid attached to a Geiger counter that activates a hammer that will break the flask of poison as soon as it detects an atom of radioactive material decay.

Is my cat alive or dead?

Wake up.

It's both alive and dead.

The real question is, when is the PEDA march for this?

Hello Khalsa1430, it's been a while since I've done this experiment on your cat. Only you will know the results.
