Scientists Study Why Bread Falls On Buttered Side
 
Last month, scientists at Orowheat Labs began investigating why a
piece of bread always falls on its buttered side.  "We were wondering
if it's the same reason cats land on their feet," said Isaac
Fig-Newton, author of The Unbearable Lightness of Ants.
 
The study involved 100 pieces of bread - whole wheat and white - and
100 cats of various temperaments, from limp to surly.  Assistants
dropped each cat and each piece of bread from a two-story building on
24th Street.  Scientists observed how each fell to the ground.
 
"Both the cats and the bread twisted around in midair so that the cats
landed on their feet and the bread on the buttered side.  We surmise
it may have something to do with gravity.  But further tests are
warranted," said Fig-Newton.  He added that the next stage of the
research would involve buttered cats.
