The average person believes that chaos theory proves that the universe is inherently confounding, and that they should blame mindless butterflies for their ruined roofing. For once, "they" are completely accurate. To truly understand chaos, one must first be familiar with the discovery of the theory. A young and bored research student in New York (Rudiger P. Jones) decided that studying weather in a place that was perennially unpleasant was not the way to become a happy person. It was at this moment that he named the first concept of chaos, "Strange Attractors". It appeared that after 3 years of miserable snow and humidity, the Caribbean Islands were highly "attractive". Taking all his research grants, and none of his research equipment, he left for the islands. Upon arriving Rudiger attended Yolanda White's Famous Toga Party. Within the course of the night he had (unsurprisingly) spent all of the money. Rudiger realized that he was in need of a brilliant theory (read: excuse). Yolanda, recognizing true genius in action, provided Rudiger with falsified documents that told of a horrible storm suddenly appearing that destroyed Rudigers "lab". Meanwhile he wrote a thesis on how a butterfly flapping its wings in New York can cause "unexpected lab-eating storms". Needless to say, the company that issued the grant immediately called for Mr. Jones arrest. Surprisingly, however, the scientific community rallied behind Rudiger. It was heralded the re-unification of the sciences. Breydan Asdef of the Greenibreian Institute of Advanced Astrophysics says, "Finally, something we can all blame our failures on! What's more, Chaos Theory thrives on that failure. I never complain that the Biology department gets all the grants any more. I just say that a butterfly ruined my experiment, and they give me more money! It explains more than the X-files!" Rudiger was never convicted, and today continues his study of the effect of the Margarita on the Toga Party.
