Cheap Anti-Gravity Device

Everybody knows that a cat always lands on it's feet, right?
And Murphy's 3rd Law of physics states that a piece of buttered toast always lands butter-side down.
So in you strapped a piece of buttered bread to the back of a cat, in theory it should hover several inches off the ground.

 

hahahahha.. too good man

 

heck, you dont even need the cat. just tape the toast to your feet. you might be on to something... or just on something

 

lol, if you want to jump headfirst off a ledge with buttered bread strapped to your feet, be my guest.

 

Actually... there's been testing done on the toast theory.
Don't mean to ruin your fun, but this gets interesting.

Toast ALMOST always lands butter/jam side down for a reason. At the height where most people hold it, or normal kitchen-counter height, and the fact that it's always put down (on a counter or table) or held butter/jam-side-up, it's just the right distance for the toast to do a half-flip and, of course, land butter/jam side down on the floor.

Try it (hopefully on a clean table/floor/whatever). Hold a piece of toast, noting which side is on the "top" (facing AWAY from you) and drop it. It does a half-flip (most of the time) and lands the opposite way that you were holding it. I've tested this one myself, after I heard the "half-flip" theory.

 

ur logic is good but gets a little bit messed up at the end. the cat would not float, it would land on its feet and the toast would never touch the ground and therefor, would not disprove the butter side down theory. a human would float if you taped/glued etc. a piece of toast to the bottom of his or her feet upside down.

 

omg i think your on to something!!!!!

run some tests and report back to us.....

this could be the end of physics as we know it

 

Damn it was just a silly little joke.
Some people just need to lighten up.

 

If you butter the toast and face it inward twards the cat sandwiching the cat between the bread the cat will not get your bread all mushy by lunchtime. My mom used to do it for me with tuna. The layer of butter forms a protective moisture proof barrier that protects the bread from gettin mushey from the tuna. I figure it would work just as good with the cat.

 

Once, while on LSD, I discovered that if the patterns on the soles of your feet match the patterns on the ceiling, you can walk on the feeling. The problem is that the patterns keep changing.

 

That's pretty close to what I was going to say. Minus the last sentence.

Also, while toast does not ALWAYS land butter side down, it is quite frequently the result. It has nothing to do with how high you hold it, or what direction the bread is facing. It's a matter of weight. Just like tails is scientifically proven to be the result of a coin flip more times out of 100 than heads is. It's all about what side is heavier. That side, will more often, land facing down.

 

im glad someone knew

 

MythBusters falsified the evidence. The producers are using the butter effect to create the first levitating car and want to keep it a secret.

My understanding is that they are trying to strenghthen the Margerine effect to get the same results as with butter. Thus an all vegetable powered vehicle. (No hassle with PETA.) The improved efficiancy of a hover car, plus the vegetable power source makes conversion from imported petroleum a realistic goal.

 

i wonder if tilting the bread would cause propulsion. then you could float around like a harrier jet

 

Well, if you caused a piece of flooring to remain paralell with the piece of toast, I don't see why it couldn't be at any angle.

Perhaps if they were offset from each other, you could get the toast to rotate. Which could provide the motive power for a generator.

 

is that how you tell real butter from i cant believe its not butter then?

 

Okay, so...

Who wants toast?

 

what i like to do is get ten slices of bread. make peanut butter and jam sandwiches. when i drop these sandwiches, both sides of the bread are the sides opposite to the butter and such, thus the sandwich floats. they can be commanded like magneto commands those metal discs in xmen 2

 

One of my friend's brothers (the friend is almost 30, so it was a while ago) ate a decent amount of peyote and hallucinated an entire party at his house. Everybody wanted toast, so he toasted 3 or 4 loaves of bread, woke up and had to 'put the pieces together' (no pu intended?) to figure out why the hell there was a massive pile of toast on his table.

Same friend is growing peyote again, and wants my husband and I (along with a couple others) to eat it with him... I told him I think I'll pass, if that's what kind of trips he/his family usually has, haha. Don't think I could eat that much toast.
