There are in all eleven documents. The decision has been made in order to avoid possible misunderstandings regarding the contents of the documents."

  1. Schroedinger? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny
    I wonder if he knew Schroedinger? That way, Germany could say it had a nuclear weapons programme, maybe in a box, possibly with a cat (alive or dead), but no one would know without looking.

    If they knew Seuss, it'd be the Cat in the Hat in the Box - with the Nazi weapons programme... I'm not sure where the eggs and ham fit in though, can anyone clarify?

    I've had waay too much coffee...

    Bohr thought the sun would continue to rise in the east. Heinsenberg was said to be uncertain.

    They met in September 1941. I guess that means we can't know where they met.
