Why does it........

Well I have just finished washing up after a romantic meal (!) complete with flowers ladies.... And on filling the bowl the water in the tap as usual attracted something to go underneath, usually a spoon and as a consequence sprayed me and half the kitchen with water. Bu**er....

So I thought I would start a thread inviting other Why Does it moments to see if we all share the problem of toast landing butter down, Only rains when you have no umbrella etc.... :blah:

Why when getting a drink in a cup out of the fridge, does it try to jump out and go allllllll over the floor instead? (Fella went maccies on the way home, put drink in the fridge door, got it out and made it go everyyyyyywhere)

Why does my dog only go from sleeping happily in the kitchen doorway to standing up without any prior warning when I am trying to step over him with a hot cup of tea.

maybe due to them having a higher sense of hearing than a human and it is probably the same as you lying on the floor and having someone jump up an down right next to you wearing clogs, You may think you have stepped lightly but to the dog i am sure its a lot louder, there range of hearing is a lot more an besides bass is carried more through the ground which is what would be produced when walking lol.

So why doesn't he stand up when I'm on my way into the kitchen without a cup of tea, or on my way out of the kitchen with something like a bag of crisps which will be equally enticing to his advanced sense of smell. He only does it when I will trip over him, burn my hand, smash the cup and then have to clean up whilst swearing so quietly my little girl can't learn words she shouldn't know yet.

Slightly off subject
As we know buttered toast when dropped will fall buttered side down and a cat always lands on it's feet( I think you can see where I am going with this )
Does anyone have a cat and a large toaster to allow the experimentation ?

Lol... I volunteer the cat used my garden as a shithouse. You can do what you like with the dirty so and so. As for a toaster, a big bonfire then a good prod up the bum may provoke a simiar repsonse.

I love animals actually but this moggy does my head in, why can't it be a horse come drop its load on the roses? Mess up the flower beds I guess....

That would mean that if you buttered a cats back (and dropped it) it would levitate as sods law means it must land butter side down but the law of old wives tales means it must land on it's feet. The two forces would remain in equilibrium, scientifically speaking. Complicated stuff this physics, aint it.

Did you know cats can survive falls from incredible heights because they don't usually reach a fatal terminal velocity. I wonder how much butter you'd need to put on one to increase it's terminal velocity to lethal speeds.

play your set list backwards, then you won't break a string until the last song.
