A COUPLE are at risk of starving to death after becoming tangled in an ‘infinite non-decision loop’ over what to have for dinner.

Scientists detected the endless loop last Tuesday when Loraine asked husband Keith, not their real names, what he fancied to eat, leading to both insisting they really, really did not mind.

Professor Pau, not his real name, of the Institute for Studies, said: “Since then the two have gone back and forth in person and over email completely failing to make any sort of decision but wishing the other would.” I mean I can’t understand since I’ve never flip flopped on anything

Loraine said: “I almost broke the cycle when I suggested we could ring out, but then we got caught up in what to have and it was back to square one. I think I heard a faint whooshing sound as the loop reconfigured itself.”

Keith added: “I’ve been grazing from the fridge while she makes her sodding mind up.”
