This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

Ebay
I purchased a second hand playstation off ebay for £200 and received a box with a dead cat in it. I should've read Leyxias feedback.

Again, as said on xkcd.com

you
Actually bought a complex experiment from Schroedinger. Much more valuable than a playstation.

@Exiled Youth
Maybe so, but at least you can open a box with a Playstation in it more than once.

EDIT This is not quite an accurate analogy, but you get my meaning.

Schroedinger's Dick in a Box
If you place a penis in a box with a porn magazine, is it both erect and flaccid at the same time?

surely
there's scope for a Schrodinger's Pussy joke here?

Rakky - that all depends
on whether the penis is in the same box as Schroedinger's pussy.

But then it's unlikely to be in an indeterminate state....

What kind of cat was it? Just out of interest?

A bloke took a Tom-Tom back to my work (Comet) and instead of the faulty unit inside, there was a pair of sweaty tracksuit bottoms. I think i'd have preferred the dead cat.
