[Phys-L] Cat perpetual motion machine; this is 18 months old



CATHERINE , STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY - Because cats always land on their
feet and toast always lands buttered side down, you can construct a
perpetual motion machine by simply strapping a slice of buttered toast
to a cat's back. When the cat is dropped it will remain suspended and
revolve indefinitely due to the opposing forces.
