just a little video me and some friends made.
if you look closely on one of the shots the top goes down into the base of the bottle

(waits for paper to bust out tips/references/50+videos of how to do it better with 100 other types of guns)

Davids Run:
Bottle sits there.
Bottle still sits there because guns are banned over here.

Davids run if in a country without  gun laws:
Bottle sits there.
Bottle and souranding areas destroyed by a Gatling cannon firing explosive shells.

My Run

Bottle sits there.
The entire continent it resides on is turned into glass by the first wave of thermonuclear missiles.

Munroe's Run.

Bottle Sits There
I wander up, place bottle inside Quantum Theory box.
Bottle is destroyed...

...or is it?

Further Question: If you look inside, will you see Schrödinger's cat?

Yes. but why?

Re: Shooting Bottles

Well if you looked inside and saw the cat, the reasoning would be that the cat is there because you looked inside the box.

You never would of known if his cat was in there (or about to die in some horrible cat-killing contraption), if you hadn't of looked inside the box.

Nothing like derailing a thread about shooting bottles into horribly oversimplified Quantum Theory.

Re: Shooting Bottles

If I hadn't looked into this thread just now, would it have been derailed?

Re: Shooting Bottles

Depends on how you looked and when you looked.

If you looked from the side, then yes - the topic was derailed. But if you looked from straight ahead, the topic would have remained in the single on-topic state.

I succeed (no i'm not going to tell you how) and collect a cool one million while doing so.

Khalsa's Run:

Bottle Sits there.
Bottle ceases to exist as khalsa presents bottle with an enigma so perplexing, the bonds between the particles of the bottle cease to hold. Therefore ending the universe as you know it. Khalsa's universe continues  as normal.

Garoth's Run:

Bottle sits there.
Garoth tries to say something intelligent in order to feel good about himself. Garoth is incorrect and the bottle knows better.
The bottle explodes!

This has got to be one of the most pointless statements ever.
Its like saying if A==B then A=B.
And then you chuck in the "unless I'm mistaken"!
What a waste of bytes.
