Reminds me of an article I once read where the author theorized that if you strapped a piece of toast butter side out to the back of a cat, you're create an anti-gravity device that would never touch the floor. I heard Blast is bored...
I read a Scientific American article that went through the math proving that a piece of toast pushed off a sharp cornered surface between 2 feet high and 9 feet high will rotate between 90 and 270 degrees- which means it will land buttered side down.
In another issue was an article that described how a falling cat without any initial angular momentum can twist it's torso to land on it's feet.
They haven't done both together yet, though.
