	You're just being thick. Quantum theory isn't difficult, it's merely the idea of things having discrete energy levels rather than it being possible to have any energy level at all.
You might be confusing quantum theory with something more difficult like string theory, or multiple dimensions. Or adding up.

	Nononon, fuck that shit, FUCK THAT SHIT, this is why I want to fucking firebomb the family car of the CEO of "New York Bagel Company".They're not fucking bagels, they're generic bread with a hole. NYBC started this shit, but the supermarkets and McDonalds have picked up on it. It's a fucking insult to my culture, a bagel is so much more than a generic bread with a hole. Them calling it bagels is like calling a McDoanlds burger pattie a fillet steak.
A true bagel, that's buy-gul by the way, not bay-gal, has
- a crispy shell
- Can be eaten and enjoyed fresh out of the oven without any conidments, OR, within 6-24 hours without toasting, or 24-48h with toasting. Any longer than that, and it's only good for the bin. It is NOT a long-life dish.
- Sometimes they're square shape, as when they've expanded in the tray touching each other, they kindda stick, which pushes them down on 4 sides. When you rip them off from the bundle, you get little bits stuck on the edge that makes then crunchy.
A true bagel is fucking lush, it's in the top 3 breads in the world in my book. What you get in most supermarkets though, is NOT a bagel.

 I don't really understand why Sean Penn feels qualified to voice his opinions on the Falklands
	I don't really understand why Sean Penn feels qualified to voice his opinions on the Falklandsor the Islas Malvinas, as he diplomatically insists on referring to them. What on Earth has any of it got to do with him? I can barely bring myself to care about it and I'm arguably some sort of concerned party.
He calls us colonialists as if that's supposed to be some sort of insult. Of course we're fucking colonialists. We have a long and glorious history of marching into some turd of a country inhabited by Sambos and saying "actually, I think you'll find this is ours now, old chap". Before India and the Americas it was Ireland and before that it was France and before that it was Wales. As a people the English have a natural talent for drinking and fighting and to use that as an insult is like having a go at a Downs for being a bit dense.
After all, let us not forget that as a culturally Anglo-Norman people, the first country we invaded was England.
So Sean Penn, kindly do one. Those pointless little sheep-covered rocks are ours. They were entirely uninhabited when we parked up on them and for the Argentinians to claim ownership based on proximity is akin to Italy claiming Corsica. It's bent and a non-argument.
Edit: Bagels are alright, I guess.
