I had a physics teacher once tell me that the Heisenberg Uncertainty 
Principle was a little like shining a flashlight on a group of feeding 
hyenas in the middle of the night and concluding that hyenas run when it's 
dark outside.  You can't know what they're doing without shining light on 
them, and you can't shine light on them without changing what they're doing. 
 (A little like the electrons the Principle was orignally applied to).
