Toast and cats......

[taranaki]

One for the deep thinkers out there......



FACT 1 /A slice of toast,when dropped,will usually land butter side down.

FACT 2 /A cat when dropped will usually land on it's feet.



MY QUESTION / What would happen if you strapped the toast butter side up to the cat's back,then dropped it?


CAT LOVERS PLEASE NOTE
This should not be taken in any way to indicate that I am anti-cat.I'm actually quite fond of them.But I am anti-toast.How can people be so cruel to a poor helpless slice of bread?

This is an old one about absolutes and since nothing is absolute, the cat will turn and lick the butter off before spinning back around to land on its feet.

Since the cat has more mass than the toast naturally the cat will land on its feet, then maybe struggles to get teh toast off its back & eat it :flash:

Using Newton's 26th law of random freak circumstances, the cat will land on its feet, whereupon the toast will become untied from the cat and proceed to land, butter side down. After this, the universe will implode upon itself, creating a vortex, known only as Phi. This vortex will then explode, causing a new universe to come into being.

The toast/cat will hover just inches above the ground, spinning rapidly. If you attach an electrical generator to the cat's tail, you can produce limitless amounts of free power. This is often called Zero-Point Energy.

lmfao fritz and dx, wish i were creative enough to come up with an answer like that

I have plenty more where that came from! :cwn27:

My cat likes toast.

Does its breath smell like cat food, too?

I tend to side with the rationals with saying that the cat's mass is superiour to that of the toast allowing the cat to land first (most likely on its feet). Additionally, atleast in accordance to the behaviour of my cats, the cat will dislike anything being tied to it (assuming it allowed the toast to be tied to it in the first place), and will then proceed to attempt to remove the toast. Here, the toast will land on either side. This I say because just as a cat does not ALWAYS land on its feet when dropped from too low a position, the toast (depending upon the actual amount of butter applied to the one side) could conceivably land on either side. I say either side because of the factor of the cat's impatience at removing the toast from its back, the rope perhaps becoming entangled and turning the toast during removal, and even the fact that the distance that the toast would fall would be negligible. Additionally, the cat (if able to) would likely investigate the buttered side of the toast, and may possibly lick or even eat the toast!

There's my pair of pennies!

Just to be devil's advocate, physicists proved long ago that mass has absolutely nothing to do with the acceleration imparted by gravity to an object :smoker2:

Thanks guys,this post was a gimme.Just wanted to guage the philosophical capacity of the group,glad to see nobody offered a road test report

Dont try it....the devils come from the ground...
damn recurrance

[1989 DX R]

Well damn...i tried this last night. That cat lands feet first and tries to eat the toast. Nothing really special.

[NismoDrifts]

No implosion of all existence and reality?!?!!?!?!? damn......im dissapointed......

[1989 DX R]

The only thing that imploded was my expectations. I wanted to witness the creation of the infinite vortex, or at the very least perpetual motion, but just a damn cat eating toast.
