As we all know, if you drop a slice of buttered bread, it will land buttered-side down. Also, when a cat is dropped, it lands on all fours.

What would happen if you attached a piece of buttered bread on the back of the cat, buttered-side up, and dropped the cat??

1. The cat would come to a halt about 6 inches above the floor and start spinning. It will hover there endlessly, until someone picks it up or the bread falls off. In fact, we could have a whole array of buttered cats to provide power to the US.

2. Have you ever tried to put two magnets together at the same poles (N to N or S to S?) If you try to put the buttered bread on the cat's back, the bread and the cat will simply fly off in opposite directions.

3. Given that the buttered bread always lands face down and the cat always lands on its feet (see Boyles Law of Felines and Foodstuffs V1 P23 right after the part about feeding chili beans to Bobcats in hopes of solving the energy crisis); the apparent incongruity would be unable to exist in space as we know it.

Therefore, an induced temporal displacement would result in a tear in the space-time continuum which will create an artificial string in space.

Now, as we all know, strings are two dimensional objects with incredible mass and gravitational attraction akin to a black hole. The string will proceed to fold space around the cat and probably contort space-time itself.

This will have the effect of catapulting the feline into orbit around Alpha-Centauri 3000 years ago (possible Hubble observation target). If theory is correct, the cat will appear to have passed through a black hole before arriving.

In short, it will be a lot thinner and much longer - somewhat like linguini. The bread will then proceed to hit the

This is nuts... I had a very similar discussion with a prolific DJ while back at a friends in Ibiza and how that with the continuing spinning we could generate power and solve all fuel problems in the world!!!

The kitty cat of course must be in full agreement.

My friend knows how to make electricity out of gravity. His ideas are astounding...

But he is currently putting all his energy into redesigning the garden rake! Come on mate, the world needs saving!!!! :shock:

what would happen if you put jam on the bread as well? would that change the course of the cat?

how about other spreading products, such as Marmite or peanut butter?

Would their weight advantage change the whole therum, or would they just make more of a mess of the cat?

i would guess that the jam or whatever sumpliment you choose to add would visit the black hole with the cat, as the bread and butter are mutually exclusively to any other entity.

But i could be wrong

that is my cat called slab

he was a previous failed experiment with cats and bread

we forgot to put butter on the bread so it morphed with the cat
creating a new being called catbread

he is cool , but lazy
just sits there all day

i have actually dropped buttered bread on a cat (completely accidently) and the bread landed buttered side down on the cats back, unfortunatley i observed no crazy spinning just a happy cat licking butter off its back and me being p.issed off at wasting the last slice of bread in my possession.but i wasnt actually using proper butter-it was some kind of olive oil spread. perhaps only proper butter works.

ah, yes, I remember now.

Lord double-gloucester, what an honour. I remember the cheese ridge, but I must admit that it wasnt a very good idea to move towards the bbq that you were putting on!

Although I must admit that your double-gloucester cheese was lovely on my burger!

mmm mmm mmm.......

Try margarine... rumour has it that the cat might explode....
