I wanted to spell it b-ear ... but bear is a bear and that's a whole different animal! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-11: 19:00:00

Seeing the cartoon has a cat and Purps' sentence mentions toast, I am reminded of "The Cat and Buttered Toast Theory." An American magazine held a competition, inviting its readers to submit new scientific theories on any subject. The winner was "Perpetual Motion" It theorized that when a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. If enough toast-laden felines were used, perhaps they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-11: 22:47:00

Cool idea Bob. One question though. How do you keep all those cats from licking the butter off each other's toast? - Tigger, 2008-02-12: 01:00:00
