Cats and Buttered Toast

[Cyclefrance]

As you digest your turkey, lolling back in your chair, desktop monitor strangely distant because of this unfamiliar seating position, or else hunched forward, trying to stop that nervous trembling in your legs as you perch your laptop on the place it is named after while you squint at its screen which seems to be full of vibrating letters, maybe, just maybe the following topic will cause your erstwhile slumbering brain cells to awaken with interest and enthusiasm.

A subject we have discussed at some length in days gone by, when Margaret Thatcher reined supreme. Maybe it has touched Cellarites past, I would not know, but still the question irritates:

If you strap a slice of toast, butter side up, to the back of a cat, and then drop that selfsame harnessed cat from the first floor bedroom window, does the cat land on its feet, or the toast land butter side down. Be not hasty with your decision or theoretical equation. There are the very foundations of quantum physics to be shaken here and possibly the solution for powerless flight to be discovered.....

Be sure to have the Rennies close at hand.....
