LIFE CHANGINg QUESTION.?

Question

if toast always lands buttered-side down, and cats always land on all fours, what happens you you strap a piece of toast butter-side up onto a cats back and drop him?

ummm ann, how is a 35 year old guy telling a 14 year old girl that hed like to **** her mouth cool? think harder.

Answer 1

what a ridiculous question!!! I dont really think its a life changing question. And as for the guy...he should be reported.......thats sick!!!

Answer 2

If toast always lands buttered side down, then why not just butter both sides of the toast and save the poor cat from a life of generating power?

Besides, have you ever tried to strap anything to a cat? Let alone a piece of toast that I imagine would itch terribly? Good luck with that one, you'll need more energy than your buttered toast/cat array will provide.

Answer 3

Even if you are too lazy to do the experiment yourself you should be able to deduce the obvious result. The laws of butterology demand that the butter must hit the ground, and the equally strict laws of feline aerodynamics demand that the cat can not smash its furry back. If the combined construct were to land, nature would have no way to resolve this paradox. Therefore it simply does not fall.

That's right, you clever mortal (well, as clever as a mortal can get), you have discovered the secret of antigravity! A buttered cat will, when released, quickly move to a height where the forces of cat-twisting and butter repulsion are in equilibrium. This equilibrium point can be modified by scraping off some of the butter, providing lift, or removing some of the cat's limbs, allowing descent.

Most of the civilized species of the Universe already use this principle to drive their ships while within a planetary system. The loud humming heard by most sighters of UFOs is, in fact, the purring of several hundred tabbies.

The one obvious danger is, of course, if the cats manage to eat the bread off their backs they will instantly plummet. Of course the cats will land on their feet, but this usually doesn't do them much good, since right after they make their graceful landing several tons of red-hot starship and pissed-off aliens crash on top of them.

Flaws In the Flying Cat Theory: A Response

Special to the Coastal Beacon

A logical analysis of the BFAD (Buttered Feline Antigravity Drive) propulsion theory clearly demonstrates the impossibility of such a system.

Let us begin with a simple analysis. 1) Buttered bread must fall butter side down. 2) A cat always lands on its feet.

While both theorems are indisputable, the oracle offers no proof of the construct. The oracle implies that anyone who 'would' test this construct would immediately find the secret of BFAD.

This is clearly nonsense.

Let us assume a normal Einsteinian universe (although a Euclidean universe would serve our purposes just as well, the Einsteinian is both cheaper and drinks are readily available.)

To test BFAD, one must procure:

Bread

Butter (margarine, for some reason, will not work)

A cat

A strapping device.

Let us assume that all of these are readily available.

Attach the strapping device to the cat.

See?

No cat.

What has happened? We have run up against an a priori universal law. By a priori, we mean that it takes priority over either the Buttered Bread Principle or the Law of Feline Landings.

What happens is that the instant a strapping device and a cat occupy the same four dimensional space, the cat disappears. Now, this can easily be tested, and has been repeatedly. There are two schools of thought about this phenomenon.

The first holds that a cat and a strapping device are constituted out of different fundamental building blocks. According to this theory, a cat is constituted primarily of superquarks, (called meows by current theorists.) These superquarks demonstrate qualities that are both atomic (constituted as they are of groupings of normal quark particles) and feline (because these quarks exhibit characteristic of "charmed" or "lucky" particles.) Again, according to this theory, strapping materials are fashioned out of non-charmed particles. Bringing the two together causes one or the other to cancel out. One aspect of this theory that has not been sufficiently explained to date is the fact that it is always the cat, not the strapping device, that disappears.

The second school of thought, and it is one that appears to be gaining ground in academic circles today, holds that cats are, in fact, super-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who exist in our four dimensional universe only because there is plenty of good food and a lot of creatures stupid enough to provide the food, along with plenty of attention.

Whenever a strapping device appears, the cat simply opens a door to a different series of dimensions, and goes on an extended tour.

According to this theory, purring is a cat's way of maintaining a constant balance cycling across multiple dimensions. This school holds that antigravity is impossible, but that theoretically, a REALLY good grip on a cat, while reaching for a strapping device, could result in our ability to cross dimensions with ease (barring scratches, that is.) Pessimists argue that if there were anything really interesting in those other dimensions, cats wouldn't spend so much time here, so why ask for a good scratching?

Answer 4

why is this a life changing question & if u want to know what will happen if u strap a piece of toast butter-side up onto a cats back & drop him. Try it yourself

Answer 5

It will land butter-side up because the cat has control of the toast and is going to land on its feet. Good luck attaching some buttered toast to your cat.

Answer 6

Nobody has ever found that out. You try finding someone brave enough to strap the toast to the cat and the patent is yours.

By the way, that's how the hover boards in back to the future work. Cat's hate water - hoverboards don't work over water.. makes perfect sense!

Answer 7

It's not true that cats always land on their feet & I doubt that toast always lands buttered-side down unless you've just washed the floor.

Answer 8

If you ever came anywhere near my cat with a piece of toast I would beat you down like an Afghanistan terrorist.

Answer 9

The cat will do somersaults suspended in the air if it tries to jump from a high level because the two theories will cancel each other out. Now go do something more constructive with your Friday night.

Answer 10

the cat will eat the toast

Answer 11

he eats the toast before the fall ends and still lands on his feet
