Yes, I always carry around a pair of scissors in my back pocket. :rolleyes:

Here am a graph of 1/x. http://www.mathsrevision.net/gcse/1overx.gif 5/x follows the same pattern.

It's earwig shaped, but I've ne'er seen one 2cm long... although thinking about it, I guess they grow to close that. And they really are resilient, not just against towels but boots and car tyres. If you use a grinding motion instead of a pressing motion, though, you can kill 'em.

Riiiiiight... laying aside all that, I think that the point is somewhat moot. To know what had happened, you'd have to observe the result post-fact. BAM! Suddenly the monkey is no longer the only observer. Hear that gurgling sound? That's the waveform collapsing.

I was actually asking for the opinions of people who had done it... but I guess this can be closed now, since no-one seems to have.
