Mathews became a popular scientist when he proved that
a piece of toast doesn't necessarily fall on the floor on the
buttered side. BBC Television gathered 300 people to throw
pieces of buttered toast up in the air and observe on which side
they fell. Half fell on the buttered side, and half didn't.
Now here's a tricky question for
Mathews. It's known fact that cats
always fall on their four legs. What
happens if you tie a piece of buttered
toast on a cat's back and drop them
from a balcony? Will the cat land on
all fours, or will the toast land on the
buttered side? I sincerely hope the
BBC doesn't try this experiment.
