Funeral attendees witnessing the paradoxical existence of Schrödinger's cat both in the grave and alive at the service simultaneously. In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's thought experiment places a cat in a sealed box with a radioactive atom that may or may not decay and trigger a poison release. Until observation occurs, the cat exists in a superposition of states—both dead and alive. Here we see the superposition collapsing into... well, both states anyway. Physics humor that only works if you don't actually look in the box.
