    Talking Cats and buttered toast

    We all know that cats land on their feet and toast lands spread-side down. The question was asked, "Well, what happens if you tie some toast to the back of a cat, and drop it?"

    Finally, some hard scientific evidence regarding this well-known phenomenon. The page is in German but the pictures tell it all...

    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    I am beginning to think it WAS a mistake to bring down the Berlin Wall.

    Now, that's a few minutes I could never get back.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    That was HILARIOUS! I love the picture of the cat on the first page. Definitely the "what's this silly human doing now?" look.

    Great fun, thanks for the link.

    Meh. They can do whatever they like with a cat. I'm a dog fan.

    P.S. We need more smilies.

    I suspect that the real answer to the experiment = one shredded hand.. cats will, I am sure, invariably not enjoy either being dropped or smothered in buttered toast and quite rightly too!
