gothwalk: I'll have you know Quantum Particle Sloths are perfectly respectable phenomena.

penguinboi: I meant to ask you about that. What in fnord are they?

gothwalk: Well. You know quantum particles, right? They might or might be there, cos of quantum. Now, particles are like bees, or possibly pollen, which is obviously related to bees cos of the whole flowers thing. They buzz all over the place, sometimes in random directions, dance, build hexagonal atomic structures like carbon rings, and so on. Some of them are strange, and many of them have charm, cos everyone likes flowers (and honey). However, bees need beekeepers. And particles need particle keepers. But you have to be very very patient to see a quantum particle. And what's more patient than a sloth? (Well, actually, spiders are more patient, but spiders are weird, and they never sign the employment contracts). So there are Quantum Particle Sloths to take care of the quantum particles.

Yeah, that was on their resumes.

Observant or not, you do want them pointing away from the quanta, correct? I mean, if they're trying to keep an eye on where you want the little buggers to stay put, you'll never catch them. Much better to arrange the sloths in a spherical configuration so that their line of sight is tangential to the area containing the wayward particles. Ah yes, the grand sight of a Ball of Sloth Containment System...
