Oh, Internet, Never Change!

Picture So we were having one of those loose, silly,  free-swinging conversations when my friend said, "Sunday morning I woke up feeling woozy." 

I couldn't help replying with, "Woozy?  What's her first name?"

My friend stifled a laugh.  "Woozy's her last name.  Her first name is Louise, but I call her Weezy."

"So, she's Weezy Woozy?"

"Indeed.  And I woke up feeling her on Sunday morning."

I said that was cool and left her office.  By the time I got back to my desk there was an email containing several links to Weezy Woozy things on the Web, including a Tumblr site actually called "Weezy Woozy."

Along the lines of Schrödinger's cat, the famous quantum theory thought experiment that we don't have to worry our pretty little heads about beyond mentioning, the Weezy Woozy example raises the question: Did Weezy Woozy exist on the Internet before my friend searched for her, or did the search itself cause Weezy Woozy to exist?

I can't answer that.  Schrödinger couldn't answer that. Just please be careful out there.
