That cabinet of curiousity...

[Anonymous]

Something to break your brain on:

We all know that you can take virtually everything from the cabinet as long as it fulfils certain specifications. And said thing has to be returned to the cabinet after a certain amount of time or otherwise it will return to the cabinet automatically.
Now, what if you'd take a box from the cabinet EVERYTHING can be fitted into, no matter the size.
And then put the cabinet into it?...

The universe has more than enough time to catch up with what the heck you've done there...

The phrase "Divided by zero" and "Oh SH-" spring to mind.

The phrase "Divided by zero" and "Oh SH-" spring to mind.

Two phrases, surely?

Sorry, my mistake. But they are usually used in that meme to do with dividing by zero together, so...yeah.

Nu-uh, that's not the same. That is trying to be sneaky. The box thing is natural philosophy *nods sagely*

Maybe someone braver than me can ask Sir Terry at next years Con?

but wait, they never said it would be returned to the cabinet, only that it would stop working (and i assume be stuck in whatever form its in at the time.)

I think you would end up with the cabinet where the box had been after the time runs out. Even if it was placed in the box and the box was moved, regardless of the size of box. When the box returned, because of the nature of the cabinet it would be restored in whatever location the box had been in.
