Flez	Posted - 2005.06.10 22:15:00 - [1] OK - heres one for you guys... FACT: If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it always lands face down FACT: A cat always lands on its feet SO... If you tied a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat, which way up would it land? All things considered... and you would be bored.
Skogen Gump	Posted - 2005.06.10 22:19:00 - [2] Hmm ... Is the cat Alive or Dead ?

Skogen Gump	Posted - 2005.06.10 22:23:00 - [4] And what way around is the toast tied to the cat ?

Sangxianc	Posted - 2005.06.10 22:34:00 - [12] I assume that if you dropped a piece of toast from, say 1m, in a vaccum, buttered side up, dropped exactly straight, with no significant gravitational force nearby other than the Earth/Moon/Sun, it would land buttered side up. - Any man's death diminishes me, as I am involved in mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

It wouldn't be a vacuum if toast was in it :Ì Well, I think he was using "Vacuum" as "devoid of air or other material that might intervene with the falling projectory of the toast". Am I right? But, that still would not cause the toast to land "butter up" I think. All things considered... and you would be bored.
Code X345	Posted - 2005.06.10 22:45:00 - [15] Heres one solution: If a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system. In the buttered toast case, it's the butter that causes it to land buttered side down -it doesn't have to be toast, the theory works equally well with Jacob's ****ers. So to save money you just miss out the toast - and butter the cats. Also, should there be an imbalance between the effects of cat and butter, there are other substances that have a stronger affinity for carpet. Probability of carpet impact is determined by the following simple formula: p = s t(t)/t? where p is the probability of carpet impact, s is the "stain" value of the toast-covering substance - an indicator of the effectiveness of the toast topping in permanently staining the carpet. Chicken Tikka Masala, for example, has a very high s value, while the s value of water is zero. t? and t(t) indicate the tone of the carpet and topping - the value of p being strongly related to the relationship between the colour of the carpet and topping, as even chicken tikka masala won't cause a permanent and obvious stain if the carpet is the same colour. So it is obvious that the probability of carpet impact is maximised if you use chicken tikka masala and a white carpet - in fact this combination gives a p value of one, which is the same as the probability of a cat landing on its feet. Therefore a cat with chicken tikka masala on its back will be certain to hover in mid air, while there could be problems with buttered toast as the toast may fall off the cat, causing a terrible monorail crash resulting in nauseating images of members of the royal family visiting accident victims in hospital, and politicians saying it wouldn't have happened if their party was in power as there would have been more investment in cat-toast glue research. Therefore it is in the interests not only of public safety but also public sanity if the buttered toast on cats idea is scrapped, to be replaced by a monorail powered by cats smeared with chicken tikka masala floating above a rail made from white shag pile carpet

jbob2000	Posted - 2005.06.10 23:46:00 - [22] Ok this is what they did on mythbusters (TV show on Discovery Channel). They buttered up some non-toasted bread and some toasted bread. They had a device created that allowed them to drop the toast so that it would have equal chances of falling on a side. It was kinda like a thin box with a door on the bottom that you can pull away really fast. Anyways, they must've done 10329874985 slices of bread and the results were all over the place so they came to conclusion that even though one side of the bread is buttered, it won't effect how it falls. Mythbusters is a great show, to be honest. They proved that you can chill a beer in a can to the perfect temperature by using a certain type of fire extinguisher in like 15 seconds or something. ----------------------------------------------- CANADIAN
Dust Puppy	Posted - 2005.06.11 12:05:00 - [23] First rofl @ Code X345 Second the reason why you always think toast lands on the floor with the butter side down is because of the way it is dropped. Think about the way you usally drop toast, you hold it at about 1 m of the floor and it slides of the disk, making approximately one and a half turn before it hits the ground. If the human race was a little bit taller perhaps the buttered toast would always land with the buttered side up. I think that reason alone should be a valid reason for mess about with human DNA __________ Capacitor research
Velsharoon	Posted - 2005.06.11 13:22:00 - [24] Im pretty sure this from a book, and in it it talks about making cats fly because they hover or something...anyone know it?

It's a good book too, if you're ever bored and need something to read. www.eve-search.com \| www.myevebay.com
Zhuge Liang	Posted - 2005.06.12 15:33:00 - [26] Easy. The cat will land on its feet. Buttered bread only lands on the buttered side the majority of the time because there is a greater attraction of mass to Earth from the side of the bread thats buttered compared to the side thats not. Seeing as the the attraction of the mass of buttered bread is not greater than the mass of the cat, the cat will fall faster. Its reactions are to instinctively land on its feet to which it will. If the mass of the buttered bread and the cat were the same then the cat moving its body would affect inertia, thus helping it to control the decent and land on its feet. ___________________________ If you find something in need of moderation mail [email protected], we have a fine selection of anti-troll products including the impressive Troll BegoneÖ (89% bleach), and the deadly Supa-XL MKII BanstickÖ.
