Q: Doug, if a cat always lands on its feet, and buttered bread always lands buttered-side down, what would happen if you tied buttered bread on top of a cat?
A: Science has disproved the "buttered-side down" hypothesis. Sad, but true. This still leaves the question of cats landing on their feet in all cases (assuming a live cat, of course), which has probably never been definitively tested because of the influence of animal rights groups. Therefore, a cat equipped with a buttered toast backpack is as likely to land on its feet as any other cat. A more interesting question might be, "What would happen if you strapped buttered toast to a cat's feet and threw the whole oily mess into the air?"

Hmm...perhaps I should have qualified the question by stating that you WANT to EAT the buttered toast. When this is considered, Murphy's law prevails over any science mumbo-jumbo. Do you honestly think that if YOU dropped the toast, it would land butter side up?
I'm just sayin' :)
I don't think I would ever eat anything that had been strapped to a cat. Especially if it was buttered beforehand.
Even if it was free?
Here's a link to the Jack B. Quick page on wiki that mentions what happens when you attach buttered toast to the back of a cat and drop it.

If I can actually find the story, I'll be sure to share it.
