1. According to quantum mechanics, it is impossible to know or determine the absolute position of an object. Position in quantum mechanics is not deterministic, but rather probabilistic. Thus, we can consider the position of an object at a particular time as a probability distribution wherein each conceivable position in space is assigned the likelihood of the object being there. Though quantum mechanics is typically confined to the subatomic realm, its scope can be generalized to the macroscopic world in which we live. Indeed, where we are at a particular time is not some absolute, monolithic thing, but a hazy smudge in space. With some infinitesimal probability you are (or could be) simultaneously in the next room, in the attic, even in the bed of the pretty woman next door. But, alas, in this big, clumsy macroscopic world we live in these probabilities are inconceivably small. So, unless you're really, really, really lucky, you will have to wait until, I don't know, when tuan gets here to magically find yourself snug in the bed of the girl next door.

(Spoiler Alert! The following reveals elements of the video's "plot")
Sadistic Asshole: "Dude... check out this video of these two hot chicks 'making out'. He! He!".
Said Asshole's victim plays the video "Two Girls One Cup": Idyllic music plays.... Two attractive women ... Standard Lesbian foreplay ... then, at about 0:30 into the video....
Traumatized Victim (horrified and at the brink of nausea): "Are they ... Oh my God, No ... I can't believe ... Are they really, IS SHE EATING THE OTHER CHICK'S POO! AND, OH NO, SQUIRTING IT INTO THE OTHER CHICK'S MOUTH! PLEASE, I CAN'T WATCH ANYMORE!"
Sadistic Asshole: "Oh it gets better. So much better, so much tastier."
... the two women, apparently fed-up (hah! pun intended) with eating each other poop, wash their fecal-feast down with a generous helping of each other's vomit; could there by a more fitting denouement?...
Traumatized Victim (shaking): "Where am I? Its sooo cold in here... My life will never be the same... My whole worldview has been decimated ... Someone, please hold me. I am so scared ..."
Sadistic Asshole: "Ha Ha! Isn't technology wonderful!"

(variants: When is tuan arriving? When is tuan coming?
Generally, used as a rhetorical question in colloquial parlance. However, some philosophers have argued that because one can never be certain of the moment or range of time during which tuan will arrive, the question becomes unanswerable. In this sense, the expression is often considered a paradox since, as some philosophers claim, all questions have at least one answer.)
1: a rhetorical question used to convey puzzlement or confusion.
2: a rhetorical question used to express one's belief that the question being asked or the subject matter being contemplated is hopelessly unanswerable.
3: ("Randian" usage) a rhetorical question - used similarly to the query "Who is John Galt?" found throughout "Atlas Shrugged" - meant to be interpreted as meaning: why ask questions that have no answers or where the answers are not readily obtainable?

1: Engineer 1: "Why won't the doohicky fit into the whatchamacallit?" Engineer 2: "When is tuan getting here?"
2: Poli-Sci Major: "Why did we invade Iraq anyway?" Hippie Roommate: "When is tuan getting here?"
3: "When is tuan getting here?" The light was ebbing, and Eddie Willers could not distinguish the bum's face. The bum had said it simply, without expression. But from the sunset far at the end of the street, yellow glints caught his eyes, and the eyes looked straight at Eddie Willers, mocking and still - as if the question had been addressed to the causeless uneasiness within him. -- Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand
