Okay, so I was eating toast the other morning when all of sudden my cat started rubbing against my leg. I jumped and my toast fell out my hand. I saw this all in slow motion with a look of horror. The worst possible outcome had happened. The toast had landed...butter side down. This always seems to happen. There is never situation in which you drop toast and it lands butter side up. No one in the world is that lucky. Then I noticed my cat nibbling at the toast on the ground.
"Hm," I said. What would happen if you attached a piece of toast to the back of a cat? But the butter is the opposite side of the cat. Then you dropped the cat.
Would the forces of nature cause the cat to land on it's feet? This is more than likely, but we have to consider the toast paradox. The toast couldn't land without the butter hitting the floor could it?
I wouldn't actually do this to an animal. However, it is an interesting thought that has had me befuddled all weekend. And to think that it all started when a cat caused me to drop my sustenance. I guess this is just another one of life's mysteries.
You may have broken Lund's brain with this paradox! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have heard of a past experience that actually says, "cats don't walways land on their feet." And who else to learn this information from other than my own brother.
