Enjoy today’s question care of Alan Fregtman, my consistent grammar and spell checker. If you’re wondering I know him in real life. so the “fuck you” is justified. Also the science in today’s strip is solid. Check out these test samples.
Conclusive evidence…
Science!
But will they work on water? Or simply fall.
That is the true question here.
Of course they’ll work on water! what’s the one thing cats hate more than dogs and their owner’s sleep? water of course! so they’ll hover just above the surface.
What about the toast?
toast is fine… as it’s just hovering too…
ARG! I don’t want to challenge your logic… BUT I have already tried that. Did not result in anti-gravity, just some pissed kitties ( and claw marks.)
I wanna see your test results… They need to be peer reviewed before they are conclusive.
That second cat looks out of it.
I would be too… If i was forced to spin continuously for amusement.
Have you received any angry letters from PETA yet?
NOPE! I’d just use them to wrap my bacon roast beef chicken salad sandwich…
QI confirmed this cat myth… a cat with a slice of buttered toast on its back is doomed to rotate forever. Thank you Stephen Fry
Which ep was that?
As they say… Science. It works, bitches!
No no no. By placing the toast on the cat, it’s already technically landed. What you need is two cats.
Science FTW!
indeed!
You utter IDIOTS! Do you see it would be much simpler to strap two slices of buttered toast back to back, rather than using a live cat!? Plus, now people who are allergic to cats can benefit from this technology.
…. shush with your logic…
I don’t know Alan IRL, but would also like to give to him a big, sloppy, wet, fuck you.
Love you too. :p
This strip is like a theoretical scientist’s wet dream.
There’s a reason this doesn’t work in practice: if either the toast or cat land, the other has not landed yet, so it doesn’t matter which side lands. However, if you just butter the cat, neither side can land without breaking physics.
Your welcome, science.
hey you’re that one guy… I remember you from that place with the things.
Yessss!!! MY QUESTION IS ANSWERED.
I hope that was adequate
There is only science if we consider all possibilities. So, if the cat starts to lick his private parts, how does that influence the physics model?
most likely… but I’m pretty sure the cat is too busy trying to control it’s shit because of the rotation…
Octopuses or octopodes.
(Sorry, I just gotta be That Guy today).
ahem… http://boingboing.net/2010/07/27/octopuses-octopi-oct.html all three are fine…
or http://iamarg.com/2011/05/17/05172011/ and it doesn’t really matter as the point was understood…
Actually, we already have hoverboards.
But will it blend?
