I thought we'd done this one to death.
Marmite, it's the only way to ensure spinning cat.
It's since been proven, that you must spread the cat with Tikka masala, then drop it towards white shag pile carpet for the best results Marmite, it's the only way to ensure spinning cat.

You need to douse one side of the cat in red wine and the other must be smeared in curry sauce and then drop it towards your new white settee.im said:

I rather suspect the cat would be torn apart by the 2 forces competing to land on the settee first.Edited by im on Friday 26th April 23:09

A very old and very geeky joke.
I'd never seen it before:

I still love the fact that someone actually implemented it I'd never seen it before:

Google use fedex to move data about and rather imaginatively call it FedExNet, they use it for starting up data centres and for importing data such as the hubble data dump.
It's going to be a long time before the internet beats couriers for data capacity, in fact i'm not sure if it ever will because if you include the data processing at each end it's pretty slow whereas if you ship a hard drive there is no import/export operation, hence why amazon offer a hard drive import/export service for their AWS.
ETA. Here's quite a good article on it actually
Actually this wired article provides a lot more detail about how they actually do it.

So I was thinking, if this stupid science theory that suggests all possibilities of choice are played out in ever diverging dimensions, then surely if 1000 people apply for a ANY job, no matter what qualifications are required, in one dimension the least qualified nimnul will get the post. And then over a short period of time, there will be a dimension where they will not be passed over for promotion, and eventually get promoted to the top job, no matter how inept they are.
What kind of retarded ludicrous science would allow this? But then I thought back to all those managers & supervisors I'd encountered over the years, and then add those behind the banking crises, and there is but one conclusion - we are the most unfortunate people in the whole damn multiverse, and are living in that dimension...

Isn't that too strong a recipe, liable to introduce such a severe rotation that the wine and curry sauce are flung aside by the centripetal force and the effect fails?
Purely for saying centripetal, rather than the ( wrong ) centrifugal force, I will have to agree .monthefish said:

a cat strapped to a buttered slice of toast!!!
The cat lands on it's feet. As the toast never hits the ground the "antigravity" theory doesn't apply. Unless of course you strap the toast to the cat's feet, butter side towards the feet.This combination of cat and toast is unable to either land on it's feet or the buttered side of toast simultaneously and therefore must hover above the ground spinning between feet and butter... forever.
Cat lands, toast never lands. End of.

See, I always wondered if the disturbance in the space-time continuum wouldn't just vaporise the floor.......
They would be eddies in the space-time continuum."I have detected," he said, "disturbances in the wash." …
"The wash?" said Arthur.
"The space-time wash," said Ford. …
Arthur nodded, and then cleared his throat. "Are we talking about," he asked cautiously, "some sort of Vogon laundromat, or what are we talking about?"
"Eddies," said Ford, "in the space-time continuum."
"Ah," nodded Arthur, "is he? Is he?" He pushed his hands into the pocket of his dressing gown and looked knowledgeably into the distance.
"What?" said Ford.
"Er, who," said Arthur, "is Eddy, then, exactly, then?"
