Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. How many pickled peppers did peter piper pick? As for the cat the force drawing both the cat and the butter to the ground would be stronger than any possible bonding unless atmoic therfor they would come apart and both land on the ground. Cat on it's feet and toast butter side. If you drop a two pieces of toast, one with butter and another with "I can't belive it's not butter", at the same time they both the I can't belive it's not butter piece land the same as the buttered piece and if someone walks in and has to choose will they be able to pick the right one? |

Paperboy Posts: 45 Joined: 4 Jan 2008 | actualy the difference between a cookie and a cake is that a cookie means that it becomes soft when over the expiration date where the cake becomes hard when over the expiration date |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1928 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 | What would be the result of cross-breeding a St. Bernard with a Chihuahua? Seriously, I've been thinking about that for years. Obviously it'd be a female St. Bernard, and Artificial Insemination would have to be employed (or a little step ladder, maybe.) |

Copy Clerk Posts: 58 Joined: 30 Apr 2008 | i have your answer. the folks at uncyclopedia have done some very intensive research into this sort of doodad, seeing as it could greatly impact the sport of kitten huffing, their favourite pastime. http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Cat-Toast_Device Edit: oh shit sorry Eldritch Warlord, didn't read the second page before posting. *slaps forehead* |

Isn't it chemically impossible? Helium is already at Noble Gas Stability so it won't lose or gain any electrons required for the bond. |

How many boards could the Mongols hoard if the Mongol Hoards got bored? Oh, and the cat/toast would careen through the ground until it eventually reached the center of the Earth and died of impossible heat/pressure. |

To chemically bond the two would be impossible, but to physically fuse the two in a nuclear fusion reaction would produce lithium, assuming the hydrogen is deuterium. |
Muckraker Posts: 238 Joined: 22 Apr 2008 | A cat with buttered toast strapped to its back will land toast side down. While it's true that cats always land on their feet it requires some physical effort on the part of the cat. If the cat is unable to provide this effort it will not necessarily land on its feet. Since toast lands butter side down without effort the cat will not be able to overcome the strength of the attraction the ground has with the buttered side, therefore a cat with toast strapped to its back will land toast side down. |

You'd just get lithium-5 if you have standard hydrogen, and lithium-7 if you have tritium (spelling?). It doesn't have to be lithium-6. |

The buttered-toast cat is a matter of gravity defiance. Schrödinger's cat is a matter of being alive and dead at the same time. Though the question occurs: What happens if we made buttered-toast cat also be Schrödinger's cat? Gravity defiance quantum cat...I think we've just created a monster! |

I know, but I was going for the idea of two things happening at the same time, a la quantum mechanics. The toast would land butter side down AND the cat would land on its feet... It was the first thing that popped into my head. But if you strapped the toast to the cat, put it in the metal box, had the Geiger counter, etc... and then at the end of the hour dropped the cat inside the box... but it'd have to be on a rig... *grabs sketchbook* |
Muckraker Posts: 309 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | At a risk of being dull, I thought that it had been scientifically determined why toast generally landed butter side down. First, of all it doesn't. It has nothing to do with being buttered. It just is that the buttered side is generally also the side which is initially 'up'. This gives you your initial spin state. As it falls from the table to the floor it generally rotates an uneven number of times - I can't remember if it is one and a half or a half spin, I have never dropped toast myself; only burnt it. Of course the butter-down incidents are more memorable than the butter-up-and-ate-it ones (although, I would throw it in the bin and start again, not that this has ever happened, although plenty of burnt toast has been thrown out unless I have salvaged it through 'scraping'), so an inherently, statistically less likely event is downplayed by perceptual bias and cultural dissemination makes it into a 'law'. If the table was lower/higher this wouldn't happen so much. Cats also don't always fall on their feet, but they make every effort to. So, strapping buttered toast to a cat's back, inverting the whole thing and dropping it from a suitable height will lead to the cat still following its natural instinct and landing on its feet with the 'butter-up' on its back. Provided, of course, that the manner in which the toast has been strapped on does not constrict the cat's ability to twist its spine, as without this it will most likely land on it side, yowl and run off (even so, the toast will not land butter side down). Incidentally, eating this toast now that it has been in contact with the hair of the cat's back is much the same choice as whether you would eat toast that had landed on the kitchen floor (on which the same cat had sat). I suppose there may be a greater risk of the warm toast attracting fleas into it, if the cat had these, but then all of these extreme possibilities are a tad moot as most people will learn from their mistakes and be less clumsy in future, which is obviously of greater benefit to all aspects of kitchen hygiene, safety and frugality. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 632 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 | Well as the toast is strapped to the cat it would just allow the cat to land on it's feet while the toast remains on the back of the cat. What happens when you divide by 0? |
Beat Writer Posts: 184 Joined: 20 Sep 2008 | Well, you took the risk, and lost. DULL but not uninteresting. What if it was I Can't Believe This Shit Isn't Butter? Or margarine? What breed of cat are we speaking of? Would a buttered bagette strapped to a panther work? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1139 Joined: 6 Jun 2008 | You did sound dull Uncompetetive, but reminded me of a hillarious quote; "You're toast is burned, and no amount of scraping will remove the black part!" -Caboose We're not really into real science for this thread. We're into Murphy's Law Application for Anti-Gravitory Cats. But I guess someone needed to say what you did, well done for getting that out of the way. |
