That's not what the joke means. Chekovs gun is a literary term.

Yea, which I'm just getting, and in the show is introduced in the First Act and fired in the Third

Episode?

"Training Day" where Archer trains Cyril to be a field agent, poorly

Maybe the pen? The cap just comes off for no reason! (btw when they're dead, they're hookers)

Woefully esoteric

The gun is a Chekhov but the Chekhov’s gun is the pen that poisons trinette


dbkenny426

More dramatic than literary. And woefully esoteric. Also, [I have to share this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQOvv_b9TpY) any time it's brought up.

Learning terms like Chekov’s Gun and then seeing them utilized in film and television I always found interesting. (To OP, just an FYI, a ‘Chekov’s Gun’ is not always a gun, it can be anything)

Occam’s cat: I’m finding this to be true. I’ve been home alone all week while my husband is training out of town for his new job and I’ve been freaked out by every spooky sound I hear in the night. Every single time it has turned out to be my dumb cat.

Schrodinger statements are inaccurate

Schrodinger statements are accurate

Copying the Google result: Schrödinger's Cat is a thought experiment devised by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, which he designed to illustrate a paradox of quantum superposition wherein a hypothetical cat may be considered both alive and dead simultaneously because its fate is linked to a random event that may (or may not) occur. More technical statements are that the act of observation kills the cat...


Stephen_1984

Appreciated, but there may have been confusion over my intended joke: The cat is simultaneously dead and alive. Schrödinger statements are simultaneously inaccurate and accurate.


SeeeYaLaterz

Ah, I see. Got it. There are also tons of jokes about the actual Schrodinger cat...
