One of the people I used to regularly see at lunch in my old job ws a 
real card.  He once speculated on what would happen if you buttered the 
back of a cat, then dropped it - would it still land on it's feet or 
would the "bread always falls butter side down" rule apply?

P.S. yes, I know they "disproved" the buttered bread myth on Mythbusters 
(but Istill  have issues with the way they conducted the experiment).
