<guinea-pig> all this talk about europe is making me crave some belgian waffles
<bz2> guinea-pig: They actually sell those in Belgium, but they call them Luik
Waffles.
<bz2> It's unclear what they call them in Luik.
<megan_of_wutai> presumably more specific
<rasher> waffles from so and so street
<chris> Until eventually it gets down to a spatial location precise to the
nearest atom.
<megan_of_wutai> and then we hit uncertainty
<chris> Below the Planck length nobody's quite sure what to call a Belgian
waffle.

drop a stack of them (the largest at the bottom), only the smallest
