I'm getting deja-vu here............

Did it try and drink all it's gas before it hit the ground? Or was it more concerned with landing tires down??

i thought terminal velocity was when something couldnt physically go any faster......not because of engine pushing it.....because the objects mass and aerodynamics coz it to reach a speed where theres no longer air resistance and it just goes insanely fast............but i dunno, hard to explain, and youre probably write, coz my knowledge of terminal velocity is limited to skydiving falling type things

no you see you guys just haven't got it. You're close.

The cat and toast will end up spinning inches from the ground, creating a spinning Cat/Toast Grid AntiGravity Device.

Large Arrays of these Cat/Toast Devices would be useful in powering highspeed magnetic monorail trains for traversing Europe or North America.

I tried this experiment and there were two outcomes I found after numerous tests.

1. They will both land on their sides due to both of natures strange forces fighting each other

2. The string will break and they will both land as expected

I was always told if you have nothing nice to say, then be quiet... so I'll keep the thoughts of detonation devices and feet to myself.
