If a cat falls, it always lands on it's feet. If you drop a piece of toast, it always lands butter side down. So if you attached a piece of buttered toast on to the back of a cat, dropped it out of a window, would it land on it's feet, on it's back or just be suspended in mid air not being able to land on either.
:confused:
Ian :D
I think it would diretly fly into the tree, crash, and both will fall down, the cat on it's feet and the toast on it's butter ;)
btw: a buttered toast doesn't always land butter side down :)
(Only if you have an expensive carpet ;))
It's always been a theory that I would like to try out, But when I was at school they never Taught Einsteins theory of Catetivety (defy Gravity = (Cat * (toast + butter))2
OR DG = (C(TB)2
A cat would land on its feet if you drop it from a two stories building. What about a dog?
I've did some tests on my cat, dropping it from the 4'th floor with an attached toast with butter on one side. And it works! Thanks for your help guys.
It works? You mean the cat lands on it's feet?
;)
Well actually that was just a cat figure (i dont have a real cat) And i don't live at the 4'th floor either. but the toast did fall upside down and the cat downside up
The cat lands on it's feet, If the Toast lands butterside down then the cat lands on its back, but if the cat lands on its feet the toast doesn't really land.
Also the toast law only applies to toast that you wanted to eat, if I wanted to eat a piece of tost I wouldn't tie it to a cat and drop it out a 4th floor window.
You are one of the funniest member on this site. Can you try the dog for me too.Quote:

I don't have a dog figure at the moment, but i don't think there's any problem getting one. I've come up with a new theory of how to make your cats and dogs go faster than light and another having a toast hovering over the floor with magnets
there is scientific proof that cats dropped from a 32 storey building had more chance of survival than falling from 8 storeys and below :)
Thanks For all your replies on my theory. I'm thinking of going for the nobel prize of physics with this theory and I'm sure I can win it.:p
Ian
Indeed!
kedaman
Do you have any video footage of your experiment you tried earlier ?. I tried entering for the nobel prize, but they want evidence
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
No, but i have a done some calculations with my TI-83 and i didn't get any complex values so i have to give you an explanation:
m1*v1=m2*v2 The m stands for mass and v for velocity
E=mc^2 mc stands for the cats mass, E for Einstein
t=s/v t stands for toast, s for the sound when the cat splashes into the ground
And the from this i got the formula:
F*g^t-c*(sqr((V^2)-(b^2))-tan(m2-E mod 29)^3)
Answer=42
So the cat and the toast didn't understand anything of it and got confused and landed up side down.
Actaully i propose that the cat will land on its side, break a few ribs, and never come near you again, because you through it out a 4th story window.
It will also look very silly, and dogs will be even more likely to try and eat it.
My theory is that if you throw a cat and a dog and t slices of toast out of a 4th floor window then the dog will land on it's head and choke on the cat sandwich
da_silvy is right u know, it takes a cat over 10 storys to figure out it's falling, and correct it's position, to land safely.
I've put my cat in the microwave oven, and dropped my toast from 4th floor. Please don't try none. My neighbour complained about butter spots on his suit, and my cat can't complain any more.
Oh! Batman! Nice to see you again. I thought you would never come back.
what happened to the new superman?
Superman was a wannabe Batman type guy. He wanted the crowd and the attention but I guess all of Batman's faithful members (like myself) bombarded him because of his unoriginality.
yeah, I suck.. :(
Batman, only you are stong enough to pick up a full grown bull elephand and squeeze it through a window.
and who might these friends be?
john? james?
they are the only ones(that I know of) that have the right to see all of the IP's on this board...
well unless you have da_silvy and batman on ICQ...?
Nevermind how I got it :D. The point is that it is him, (at least I think. I have 2 other suspects in mind...)
I dont hate you batman, I wsa annoyed with you when I just got here... but now you are not so annoying...
I want to join your bat team...... :D
Batman, I was refering to SuperMan. I thought he was either da_silvy or denniswerrn.
As for you...Are you V(ery) Basic?
I think you said batman. i saw the original post(the one right beofre mine, the one you deleted)
I am pretty sure it said batman...
and I am NOT superman...
why would i make an anonymous identity up like that?
mind you, I am one of the only ones here that actually give a real name. well one of the only frequent posters that give a real name...
and how did you come to the conclusion superman was either me or da_silvy?
Batman. If I knew your secret identity, I would still take you serious in the VB fourms. So you joke around here, but this is the Chit Chat fourm. What's it for?
You can definetly trust me. [email protected]
so how come your batanagram said bill clinton? or were/are you leading us up the batgarden path?
I would never be batupset with by bestest batbuddy, but I am slightly batconfused about which batname is right and which is wrong, I'm trying to make a batsecurity system for the batcave and it's hard when you keep changing your batname, which is going to be used as the bat password
Hey Batman! Is Ed Hayes your Secret Identity on VB-world? I thought you said it started with a J? :confused:. Or were you just joking before?
Anyhow, thanks for telling me. I will keep my word and promise not to tell anyone!
Never did resolve this :( ;)
I tied 4 bits of toast to my cat's feet, butter side up.
:)
Now my cat is dead.:(
If you're trying to resolve who superman and batman are, they're Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne.Quote:

If you're trying to resolve cats defying gravity, I can tell you for a fact that they are able to do this. When you throw the cat out a 4th floor window, aim for a pond or a lake. The cat will actually run through the air and not get wet.
We had this cat I really hated when I was a kid and I kept trying to throw it into our lake. I would zing it out about 5 feet (from a dock no less) and it would turn around in mid air, run back (through the air), scratch the crap out of me and hide for two days. Then I'd try it again. Eventually I lost so much blood I was too weak to pick up the cat any more and I found another hobby.
Hardly surprising.Quote:

I can't help I'm afraid, but I do know how to:
- make a cat bark
- teach a cat metalwork
If it was Schroedinger's cat it would presumably do bothQuote:

Wanna know how to make a cat go "woof?"
All you need is some gasoline and a match...
We staple a piece of buttered toast to the top (back) of the cat and superglue a piece of buttered toast, butter side up, to the bottom (underside) of the cat, a figure of which I have outlined in diagram A:
Dia. A
~~~
===
___
cat
___
~~~
===
= represents toast
~ represents butter
_ represents cat's skin
Following the Polanski-Bergman conjecture we establish the toast cannot land butter side down, however the cat cannot land tits up, therefore
1) fish suppers will not be served during the hours 4pm til 6pm on Sundays.
2) polling booths will temporarily smell of parsnips
4) mango chutney will only be consumed hanging upside down from an umbrella in Swindon
7) the cat, preferably a black cat, will eat the toast as it plummets to the ground, thereby removing the distinction between butter side down and butter side up
3) upon landing, the cat shall regurgitate the toast, which will naturally reform into normal pieces of uncooked sliced bread and thick buttermilk.
472) I love you
8) The cat suffers from post-traumatic shock, and has to be rushed to a cinema, currently showing 100 Things You Always Wanted To Know About Walnuts, But Never Dared Ask.
12) The toast sprouts legs and ambles its way down the road, stopping off to apply for a job vacancy in the local off-licence.
13) The buttermilk separates into butter and milk and goes to Broadway as a successful double-act.
6) Do you love me?
-3) The cat dies after an overdose of raisins, and the butter and milk and toast attend its funeral.
91) They all die
92) Time ends
Thank you for that brilliant analysis. The Albert Einstein Award for Scientific Excellence is winding it's way to you even as I type. Please treat it kindly as it must be given to j4u after his indepth study on the existence of God is reviewed and give the stamp of approval by the pope.
Aww, but why does j4u have to steal it from me? Mummy said that award was mine. Unfair, unfair. :(
the pope out trumped Mummy....
Douglas Adams lives in you all!!!!!
I consider that a compliment, Matt! Thank you very much! :)
Yeah, what she said.Quote:
