Hydrodynamics of writing with ink

For millennia, writing has been the preferred way to convey information and knowledge from one generation to another. We first developed the ability to write on clay tablets with a point, and then settled on a reed pen, as preserved from 3000 BC in Egypt when it was used with papyrus.

What Schrödinger didn’t know was that the radioactive source would change the chemical structure of the hydrocyanic acid, into a previously unknown molecule, so that instead of interrupting the mitochondrial electron transfer chain like typical cyanide gas, it intensified the mitochondrial electron transfer chain, giving the cat supernatural strength.

Now, whenever Schrödinger’s cat grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs...

Thanks decimon. I've been out of my own loop for a couple of weeks.
