Entered by orinoco on Mon May 2 19:55:23 UTC 1994:

back, and drop it?

The bread sulks.

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


#3 of 26 by bdp on Mon May 2 21:05:20 1994:

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?


#4 of 26 by vidar on Mon May 2 21:59:48 1994:

Beacuse this is enigma.

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!

Yeah..  Cats can overcome any obstacle.


#7 of 26 by vidar on Tue May 3 01:06:39 1994:

Except my adreniline rushes.


#8 of 26 by bdp on Tue May 3 04:56:49 1994:

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


#9 of 26 by carl on Tue May 3 10:25:30 1994:

and whether or not the cat's alive.


#10 of 26 by bdp on Wed May 4 00:51:55 1994:

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


#11 of 26 by rcurl on Wed May 4 05:55:54 1994:

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.

Re#10: No, but PARTS of it *WERE*


#14 of 26 by orinoco on Wed May 4 23:52:46 1994:

I think it is just physically impossible to tie buttered 
bread to a cat's back.


#15 of 26 by vidar on Thu May 5 00:59:07 1994:

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


#16 of 26 by anne on Thu May 5 03:17:49 1994:

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


#17 of 26 by jkrauss on Tue May 17 18:43:12 1994:

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?


#18 of 26 by anne on Sun May 22 21:00:44 1994:

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



#19 of 26 by vidar on Sun May 22 22:19:15 1994:

Whatever.


#20 of 26 by canis on Thu May 26 17:14:34 1994:

what would happen if you buttered both sides of the bread and dropped it on
the cat?


#21 of 26 by vidar on Thu May 26 18:56:39 1994:

The bread would land on it's crust on the cat, of course!


#22 of 26 by fuz on Sat Jun 4 01:34:46 1994:

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


#23 of 26 by kami on Tue Jun 7 16:09:30 1994:

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.


#24 of 26 by orinoco on Tue Jun 7 23:11:41 1994:

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


#25 of 26 by fuz on Wed Jun 8 04:52:02 1994:

then foldet in, 90 degrees from everything. 4d Toast?


#26 of 26 by jkrauss on Sat Jun 18 20:59:40 1994:

what if you took brud, and bettered it...
