Would you like butter with that?

Hey ma peeps, Dan here! umm yeah anyway...

Do you ever think about the phrase "bread always lands buttered side down"? Well i do! What would happen if you didn't even butter the bread in the first place and then dropped it! Logic says it should land buttered side down, but there is no butter. so logically, it doesn't land. it just becomes suspended in time and space unable to move towards is pre-determined destination, the floor.

Okay, so we're sitting there in our kitchen, a piece of bread just suspended above the counter and your still hungry. this time we butter the bread, because we like butter, not marmite>.< (Dan is mean and won't let me have Marmite *sniff*), and again... Butter fingers! we've dropped the bread! But it didn't land buttered side down. Surely the gravitational forces of the butter would pull it downwards. But us being the cool people that we are butter the bread perfectly evenly, so the weight of the butter is spread out perfectly thus taking away some of the gravitational effects of the butter. Also dry bread is porous, so it would absorb some of the butter into it's center thereby even further taking away the gravitational instabilities of the bread!

Or i guess it could just be luck...

Dan? Does Butter have a gravitational force that's big enough? If it does, why don't the lighter things have an orbit around it, surely by now all butter blocks should have their own asteroid belts made from dust, and in supermarkets everything must be nailed down, because that much butter all together (if we are going on the more the mass the bigger the gravitational pull) must have its own moon somewhere. Also, if butter does it must have a bigger gravitational pull than the bread to land butter side down. Which would all depend on how skimpy you are with the butter...

Still i prefer Marmite, so i don't have this problem.
