Question!

Hm, I like lenny's answer the best so far.

Well, a cat can pivot its spine or some shit... That's why they 'always' land on their feet.

Obviously none of you watch Mythbusters.

buttered bread does NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT always fall butter-side down... it depends on the height of dropping!!
THIS was proven by lots of people on the program Hoe?Zo? on the belgian television.

THE END

That's where I got my explanation KA

Don't know that program... does it have a website? Cuz it sounds cool

If you spin the cat like a frisbee it lands on its head.

Haha pancake head cat.

Mythbusters is awesome.

"So, now we're going to try this. We're not quite sure what's going to happen. Best case scenario: The theory holds true and the myth is debunked. Worse case scenario: Jamie dies. Lets go!"

It sounds like the kind of program Braniacs is...

Do you get Braniacs over there?? I always thought it was an American program...but it's got a Biritsh host, and seems to be a British program...it's all so confusing when you've only had 3 hours sleep in the past 48 hours...

Never heard of Brainiacs, though I will watch Mythbusters if I happen to stumble across is. They do some pretty cool stuff on that show. Usually involving firearms and/or explosives, and you can't go wrong there!

but you know what.. that mythbusters guy with the hat kinds looks like the bunny with a pancake on its head
