I wonder... Mark Unseen   May 2 19:55 UTC 1994

If a cat always lands on it's feet, and buttered bread always falls
butter side down, then what happens if you butter a cat's
back, and drop it?

And he buys an AK-47 and charges into the
bread office and shoots 30 people, 8 fatally.

well, I bet the cat would land on its feet if you buttered them.
Bread has nothing to do with the question, so why did you ask?

The way I originally heard the question it was "If a cat always lands on its
feet, and buttered bread always fals butter side down, then what happens when
you tie bread(Butter side up) to a cat's back and drop it"
Answer- the cat ALWAYS lands on its feet!!  Cause it's a CAT for %$%^ sake!

depends on the type of bread though.
ANd the type of cat.

and whether or not the cat's alive.

response 10 of 26: Mark Unseen   May 4 00:51 UTC 1994

I don't know if that's a factor though.
I mean, bread isn't alive, is it?

Bread is the *staff* of life.

Father:  Young man, what is that in your hand?

   Boy:  It's the staff of life.

Father:  And what do you have in your other hand?

   Boy:  Oh, it's just a loaf of bread.

I think it is just physically impossible to tie buttered 
bread to a cat's back.
vidar
response 15 of 26: Mark Unseen   May 5 00:59 UTC 1994

It's not *IMPOSSIBLE*, It's just very hard and time consuming.
anne

I agree with vidar (surprise surprise), not to mention hazardous to your
health (unless the cat is declawed and defanged!!)

no, youre both wrong.  see, theres this one lot in town where restaurants
keep moving in and then going out of business.  what happened?
simple.  somebody tied buttered bread to a cats back while sitting there,
and the spot was cursed forever.
ps--if buttered bread *always* falls butter side down, then it would
land on the cat butter side *down*, not up, no?

re #17- that
's only if you drop it *on* the cat, not place it.

Whatever.

response 20 of 26: Mark Unseen   May 26 17:14 UTC 1994

what would happen if you buttered both sides of the bread and dropped it on
the cat?
vidar
response 21 of 26: Mark Unseen   May 26 18:56 UTC 1994

The bread would land on it's crust on the cat, of course!
fuz
response 22 of 26: Mark Unseen   Jun 4 01:34 UTC 1994

you would have a very angry, very buttered cat. Toast it?

Never set the cat on fire, you surely will annoy it
It will only make the beast perspire, she surely won't enjoy it.
Likewise do not ignite the frog, the girbil, hampster or the dog,
No never set the cat on fire.

And mind your manners, as circumstances may require, and never set the cat
on fire.

what if you made a cube of bread and buttered it on all sides?
