i thought that perhaps people would be interested in discussing some of the more interesting things that are being discovered in modern physics.

given the two observed facts:
* buttered toast, when dropped, always lands butter side down
* cats always land on their feet

it has been pointed out that if a piece of buttered toast is attached to a cats back, and then the cat is dropped, the "system" will end up spinning in mid-air

feline feels the need to reasure Mobius
dont worry, i have tried this before, but the halflife of toast is such that it somehow never works
someone keeps on eating all the toast!

feline thinks Snowman has a strange definition of huge
