First off, I must say that I (L) wikipedia Stumbleupon (Fixed for my brain being stopid).

Wikipedia wrote:
The buttered cat paradox is a joke paradox based on the tongue-in-cheek combination of two adages:

* Cats always land on their feet.
* Buttered toast always lands buttered side down.

The paradox arises when one considers what would happen if one attached a piece of buttered toast (butter side up) to the back of a cat, then dropped the cat from a large height.

Pictures and more awesome after break.

Make a belt of Buttered Toast Cats and you have yourself an anti-gravity device.

Some people jokingly maintain that the experiment will produce an anti-gravity effect. They propose that as the cat falls towards the ground, it will slow down and start to rotate, eventually reaching a steady state of hovering a short distance from the ground while rotating at high speed as both the buttered side of the toast and the cat’s feet attempt to land on the ground. This, however, would require the energy that keeps them rotating to come from the gravitational energy expended in the system's fall; otherwise it would violate the Law of Conservation of Energy.

We're talking about a device that would be impossible to create in the first place

Yeah, harnessing all those cats would be a bitch, they tend to scratch when they don't get their way

Look, I'll supply the buttered toast, we get the cats from an animal shelter and then we borrow ashlite's XXXL belt.

Cut the cats feet off and re-do the experiement where its supposed to land on them.

I could of picked any nation but picked them as people here love hating them and there dosen't seem to be that many to have a go at me in their French accent. If there are please see why I said Frenchman, its not personal I just needed a scapegoat and today it was you, tomorrow who knows, France again maybe?
