The old Cat / Toast debate

[Guest Jay]

if toast lands butterside down

 

and cats land on their feet

 

what would land on the floor if you strapped a bit of buttered toast to a cats back and chucked it out of a window??

would hover above the floor spinning

you'd get hunted down by the RSPCA

I believe that such a paradox would cause the toast and cat to disappear in a puff of logic before it reached the ground.

 

It would make a great method of culling cats.

there's a theory about this, that many linked cat-toast devices could be used to provide the track for a monorail above the channel

You'd get a lovely fresh cat sandwich which you've just chucked away.

 

Toast doesnt always land butter side down though. The butter just shifts the centre of gravity slightly and its still 50/50 as to which side hits the floor, you just notice it more when it lands butter side down.

 

If it bugs you, why not put the toast on the floor and THEN butter it?

think about it logicaly, the butterd side of the toast is ofcourse heavier, so its more then likely always going to land butterd side down. simple

but what about the density of the bread??

 

 

i mean, some cheapy stuff aint gonna be as thick as say kingsmill etc... so wouldnt the bread have something to do with it too?
