Murphy’s Laws

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Toast always falls with the buttered side down.

This one always struck me as the key to perpetual motion.

Since toast falls with the buttered side down and cats always land on their feet, all you need to do is to tie a slice of buttered toast to the back of a cat (butter side up). You then hold the cat upside down, so the toast is pointing to the floor. When you release the cat, it will attempt to right itself so as to land on its feet. But the toast, obeying the law mentioned above, will use its floor affinity to land butter side down, thus flipping the cat over. And so on and so on. 

Now all I need to do is work out how to plug my television into a mid-air whirling cat/toast matrix. Once I’ve got that sorted, I’ll make a fortune.
