Interesting. There is another phenomenon, I'm not sure what it's called, where the listener hears a joke and assumes it was originally told by JD Deluzio, but it wasn't. For example...
"My psychology professor asked the class if anyone had ever heard of Pavlov, and I said, 'It rings a bell.'"

Schrödinger and Heisenberg get pulled over by a cop for speeding. The cop asks "Do you know exactly how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies "No, because we know exactly where we are." Thinking this to be suspicious the cop searches the car and asks them to pop the trunk. He then returns to the window and says "Did you know you had a dead cat in your trunk?"
Shouln't Heisenberg say, "no, because we didn't know exactly where were we were," and therefore his speed couldn't be measured, because it was the other half of the quantum pair that was being measured. Or maybe I jut need to get my first cup of coffee,

Several punchlines exist.
In this case, it's based on, "The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa."
Welcome back. I don't think you've posted in a while.

Thank you Richard. Work has kept me super-busy for months, free time at a minumum--so yes, it's been a while. I just happened to check in the other day and saw the Legion/Adventure era posts (my absolute favorite Legion era), so I couldn't resist chiming in.
I'm surprised--and glad!--I still remembered my password here!

"We do now."

Thanks, JD. My understanding of the uncertainty principle is uncertain, at best.
Somehow, they've managed to make Godzilla look like the heroine of a Victorian melodrama who's expiring of TB.
Reposting in case it didn't go through the first time:
@Dave Palmer: The Adventure letter column masthead image was finally updated with Light Lass's feather insignia in Adventure #356.
Fun fact: that Legion Outpost letter col masthead image is from the Swan/Klein cover of Adventure #316,with the addition of Superboy front and center.
