Heisenberg Uncertainty: For electrons and ninjas

Science and knowledge in general has ruined my life. When I do things, I often think about the aspects of science (or other field of knowledge) that is applicable to that particular event.

Case in point: when I see a rainbow
I don't think: "How nice and pretty!"
I do think: "The angle the light makes with the raindrop is 42 degrees."
Case in point: running for exercise
I dont' think: "BLARGHHHHHH I'M DYING FROM EXERCISE"
I do think: "Since I'm moving, I wonder how many picoseconds younger I'll be than if I hadn't run at allBLARGHHHHHH I'M DYING FROM EXERCISE"
