Buttered Cat space ship with Tomato Sauce drive.

2 Conversations

Let me explain the fantastic invention which is the "Buttered Cat" space ship with "Tomato Sauce" drive? The principles are very simple:

If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it always lands butter side down.
If you drop a cat, it always lands paws down.

Therefor, if you butter a cat's back and drop it, it will hover just above the floor, unable to fall one way or the other.
All you have to do, is build a space ship and cover it in buttered cats, and it will defy gravity.

If you now cover the outside in freshly laundered, crisply pressed starched white shirts, and spray tomato sauce out of the front of the space ship, the shirts will attemt to catch the sauce up at an almost infinate speed. I believe this was the previous design to the infinite improbability drive.
