Tamara, Don't forget that Noelene is down here south of the Equator ... and we know strange things happen here, like the bathwater going down the plug hole in the opposite direction. So, whilst you're meditating, consider whether the same would apply to the flip, flop of the cat/buttered bread....would the cat/bread sandwich in the northern hemisphere go flop, flip instead of the other way round, and would it have any effect on perpetual motion or not!!????? (Extremely big grin!!)

I think I'll spend the rest of the evening meditating... Are you a genius? Am I a nut, because I find the idea most amusing? Flip, flop, flip, flop... How big would the bread piece need to be to balance the cat and keep the flip-flopping going? Would it be a matter of weight, or of surface? And, how soon after being dropped (from what height?) would the flip-flop "click in"? Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
