If you get the weight of the buttered toast right, and manage to eliminate any friction caused by the surrounding air, you should create a perpetual motion engine. But we wouldn't recommend opening the box because the cat might be dead. |
LMAO, El, that was freaking brilliant. We could invent a whole new way to dry clothes.  |
that would be some smelly laundry, though, if the cat is indeed dead. but then it might not be... but then again it might... but then....
dammit, schroedinger!  |

Which leads us to yet another point to ponder. If you throw a DEAD cat off a third story balcony, will it still land on its feet? What if we superglue a piece of toast butter side down, to his feet? What then, huh?

But how do you know that the cat is dead? Are you going to be responsible for opening the box to find out?
On another point - People always say "bless you" when you sneeze - why isn't there a similar phrase to use when someone coughs?
(apparently the saying originated when the Black Death swept Europe - people said it because sneezing suggested you might have the plague and were going to keel over dead soon - like in the nursery rhyme Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses) |

Here's an idea - toast the cat first (then you know it's dead[1]) and then put butter on it's back. Then drop.
[1]Even if the toaster doesn't do the trick, the fact that you've got to flatten the cat first by running over it a few times in the car in order to get in in the toasting slot will... alternatively you could toast under the grill, but the fur will catch on fire and it'll be crispy on the outside but not done in the middle - I hate toast like that.

You people have scared both my two cats - they now run away from the PC instead of chasing the mouse. Even the cat tattooed on my leg is getting nervous!
