This morning my brother and went out to breakfast and discussed a burning question. The possiblities are so great, and repercussions enormous. We predicted changes from the earthly catastrophic to the collision of dimensions throughout the universe.
The stated data is as such; When dropping buttered toast onto the floor, it inveriably lands butter down. When dropping a cat, it inveriably lands on its feet.
Consider! If you strap the toast to the back of a cat and drop both together from a distance of 20' in the air, What will the outcome be?
And will it have an effect on your belief in or non-belief in God? |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | If your faith in the buttered side of the toast landing face down is based on proof that the butter causes one side to be heavier and thus causes it to flip in the air, could it be shaken if fat-free butter is used and it lands on it's side first?
If your faith is in the cat who has repeatedly shown that it can land on it's feet based on numerous drops from significant heights, would that faith be shaken if the cat's legs are injured in a previous drop and it does the splits the one time you're proving your faith to a skeptical friend; would your faith be shaken then? |

My faith is in the fact that you can't drop a single cat enough times to have a statistically valid quantity of results. after a few drops, it's gonna run away, and dogs chasing the scent of the buttered bread are gonna eat it.

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | the cat would land first on its feel because the cats weight is much greater than the bread. I guess. I dont know.

Fat-free butter - lands on it's side!
HAHAHA!

A cat doing the splits??!!

This thread caused me to laugh out loud in my normally quiet office. Thanks for the laugh. I needed it today. |
