Fun talk:Buttered cat theory

From RationalWiki

This I like (and NOT because of the toast reference). It appears to be not copied from anywhere I've looked and is quite witty. Where's it from, CUR? If it's your own, well done. ToastToastand marmite 02:59, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

It's an old joke. apparently dates from Omni magazina back in the early 1990s Amin7b5 04:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I think so to, Nice work Anthropeamfhuhefuhuihd.....CUR! Ace McWickedDisco Jesus 04:22, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I worked on it for over a week. All mine. I took some inspiration from Uncyclopedia, but the equations, kitten huffing, and just about everything is my work. --Prim arthropleura.jpg 19:49, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I remember this one in New Scientist many years back. If I remember correctly they had a mad scientist who invented the buttered car drive and black shining torches.--Bobbing up 20:11, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Just one small problem, wouldn't a cat with buttered toast run the risk of being seperated from the bread, allowing gravity to take over again? Would it not be best to just apply the butter directly to the cat? ĴάΛäšςǍ₰ is out of his mind 20:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Only if the cat was toasted. And then you've got the problem that a dead cat doesn't necessarily always land on it's feet. WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 20:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I remain dubious about any long term applications for this theory, since spinning cats would ultimately lick the butter off the toast, cats being notorious butter lovers. On the other hand, we've all been so conditioned by Windows (tm) to expect things to crash, a crashing Cat Drive might just be normal.--Sun mowse.pngEn attendant Godot"«Oh, my Lolita, I have only words to play with!

Best-of fun?[edit]

I'm a bit hesitent to ask, but is it near that kind of quality? Or maybe nearly best of? --Prim arthropleura.jpg 22:53, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
