I cant remember where I read about this, but I want to try it anyway.
Here’s the thesis.
A Cat will always land on its feet.
Toast will always land butterside down.
What would happen if you strapped a piece of hot buttered toast to a cat’s back, buttered side up?
my answer… the very fabric of the universe would be ripped apart.
or, the universe will split in 2, one where the cat lands on its feet, and the universe continues, and the other side where the world ends.

THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER:
When a cat is dropped, it ALWAYS lands on its feet; and when toast is dropped, it ALWAYS lands with the buttered side down. Therefore, I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat. When dropped, the two will hover, spinning inches above the ground, probably into eternity.
A “buttered-cat array” could replace pneumatic tires on cars and trucks, and “giant buttered-cat arrays” could easily allow a high-speed monorail to link between New
York with Chicago.
Oh, come on, this one is easy. The cat lands on its feet and then rolls. Whenever you’ve got two absolute, inviolable laws like that, there’s always some way to satisfy both.
