Buttered Cat Paradox.... :D

I was at Quiz Trac this year and the event was awesome. My brother won a cool 5000 bucks and we were celebrating. There was this one question in the finals that really fascinated me. It was about Murphy's law and that the bread always fell the butter side down. I didn't know anything about the law then and felt it was real cool. Back home I started researching it and found all about it. But then, I also found this:




The Buttered cat paradox!

Now this, is absolutely brilliant.... Cats fall on their feet and the bread falls the butter side down. So tie a bread with the butter facing up onto the back of the cat and drop it from a height. Each tries to land and hence start rotating. This goes on forever, thus creating perpetual motion.

There are a lot of funny videos on this in youtube. Now this is TRUE SCIENCE, but they don't teach these in school....Boo.
