I’ve never really understood the saying, “you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”  Of course I can.  That’s what I do with my cake.  Apparently the confusion comes from a distortion of the original 1546 quote, “wolde you bothe eate your cake, and have your cake?”   The original saying meant, you can’t eat your cake and still possess a cake (because you ate it).  Clearly, cake was a philosopher’s nightmare in the 1500s.

Schrodinger’s cake.

So nerdy.
