If you drop a buttered piece of bread, it will fall on the floor butter-side down. If a cat is dropped from a window or other high and towering place, it will land on its feet ( Read more... )

note that was by Jon Carroll and not conrad, if you'd read it all, foo.

And as I was reading it, I'm thinking, "hey, this sounds like one of my stories..."

that's an interesting theory, mister carroll, but i have to disagree. when buttered toast and feline meet, why should it be that they just plain...don't fall? i think that's a pretty shaky argument. i think that you mistake the anti gravity effect for the toast/cat amalgam actually falling toward gravity and the ground beneath, obeying laws both physical and philosophical, actually "leaps" out of the way, much like the way wormholes work in star trek. speaking of trekking through the stars, this system could also work for those space aliens. while keeping their vessel stationary, these extraterrestrials can hurl the crusted bread/kitty hybrid in the direction they want to "go" and all the matter in that area would fly past them and they could, thusly, arrive at their desired destination...as for the cat eating the toast problem, i propose making the toast really spiky.

the end.
