It's like one of those test for Murphy's Law: whatever which could possibly go wrong can and WILL go wrong. Test? Drop a buttered toast onto the floor with various carpets -- the more expensive the carpet is, the more likely the toast will land on the buttered side (so that the carpet will be ruined!! Haha)
lolz.. io didn't get it .. but readint yur line.. i kinda ish get it.. i was reading over and over what Maverick said.. but the spinning cat.. made me all dizzyyy
LMAOOOO AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH THATS SO JOKES LOL you guys dont get it at all? lol basically, if you throw a slice of bread down, where one side is buttered, the butter side will always face downward. and as for a cat, it always lands on its feet. now you put the butter side upward on the back of a cat, and you throw the bread/cat down, each side will want to face down, so hence you got antigrav lol very cunning hahahaha but proven false by mythbusters lol
Rofl... Now I get it... not all that funny... but i get it... Hah... It was hard to understand b/c the words in the picture are not place in 1 line and I misunderstood what it meant... + I never bother thinking butter land face downward... Hah
cos they mite land on their side =P gotta luv murphy's law and all the other associated laws with that bought my friend the murphy's law calendar, got a diff law everyday to read =)
The Buttered Cat Principle The Facts... If you drop a buttered piece of bread, it will fall on the floor butter-side down. If a cat is dropped from a window or other high and towering place, it will land on it's feet. The Problem Statement... But what if you attach a buttered piece of bread, butter-side up to a cat's back and toss them both out the window? Will the cat land on its feet? Or will the butter splat on the ground? The answer... Even if you are too lazy to do the experiment yourself you should be able to deduce the obvious result. The laws of butterology demand that the butter must hit the ground, and the equally strict laws of feline aerodynamics demand that the cat can not smash its furry back. If the combined construct were to land, nature would have no way to resolve this paradox. Therefore it simply does not fall. That's right you clever mortal (well, as clever as a mortal can get), you have discovered the secret of antigravity! A buttered cat will, when released, quickly move to a height where the forces of cat-twisting and butter repulsion are in equilibrium. This equilibrium point can be modified by scraping off some of the butter, providing lift, or removing some of the cat's limbs, allowing descent. Most of the civilized species of the Universe already use this principle to drive their ships while within a planetary system. The loud humming heard by most sighters of UFOs is, in fact, the purring of several hundred tabbies. The one obvious danger is, of course, if the cats manage to eat the bread off their backs they will instantly plummet. Of course the cats will land on their feet, but this usually doesn't do them much good, since right after they make their graceful landing several tons of red-hot starship and ticked off aliens crash on top of them.
did u hear abt the myth abt whether a cat dies falling from a given height ? small heights they're fine something abt some range where because they're all tensed up, wen they land they break their limbs etc etc and usually die however, if u drop them from somewhere higher, they get relaxed by the time they hit the ground, cos they hafn't hit it yet, and while they're relaxed and hit teh ground, they're fine wonder who did that experiment ehheeh
I wonder if they did it with the same cat, since cats tend to have 9 lives (Sid-den-ney ... must be very late over there)
OMG!!!... I DO THE SAME THING!!! If I jump off 3 stairs... I am all relax when I hit the floor... When I jump off the CN Tower, I get all tensed up and break my limbs...
^ LMAOOO hahahaha the height you jump off will determine the speed you will land on the ground (+/- some factors), but the speed you land * the mass you weight will mean the force you are going to hit the ground. now if that force is greater than your body's breaking point, consider yourself scrambled egg lol drop a drop of water into a pool of water at different heights.. youll see.. haha
