What the Heck?

I did some things differently today. My lunch still disappeared.

I placed my meal in the freezer door in order to make it easier to observe when it disappeared, assuming it would. This meant it was clearly in a different location that before, so it couldn't be an accident of science. Professor Zaffman was told to stop his teleportation experiments after the last time he had problems with setting the coordinates and the lawsuits that followed. It wouldn't have shocked me if he'd started again and, somehow, been removing my lunch on accident. That doesn't seem to be it.

I brought in a different type meal today, a 'Captain USA Lite Delight' meal. Chicken Curry flavor. What? They're good and let me pretend I'm eating somewhat healthy on occasion. And a dollar from every sale goes to charity, so, you know, stop with the laughing. I was hoping to prove that it wasn't that someone seeing my meal and being unable to resist it's flavory goodness. Not sure I proved that.

The thing that really annoys me is that it just seems to disappear.

At 11:55, my intern Bob opens the freezer and the meal is clearly there in the door. It's still there as he shuts the freezer. Five minutes later Professor Hillings opens the freezer and it's gone. What the heck?

During the five minutes, there is a moment in the video where it blurs slightly. I though it was just a glitch in the feed but I'm starting to wonder if it's not. If someone was observing this in a movie, they'd enhance and enlarge the freeze frame and it would magically be a picture of someone. I don't have technology that wonderful. I've met people that probably do have that kind of technology but I doubt they'd want me to call them on a Friday afternoon to analyze video of my lunch being taken. Also, I don't have their number. Bother.

Yes, I'm watching this at work. It's a slow Friday afternoon, I'm caught up on my work, and I'm counting this as field testing new technology. So quiet you.

What the heck?
