Well, if north is determined by the electromagnetic field, then unless you were under the influence of such a field would there be a north. I think I'm going to ask this on the astronomy board!

"Who's on first .....?" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly. 1) Murphy's Law states, and I quote, "A piece of toast, when dropped, will always fall butter-side down." 2) A cat, when tossed into the air will, barring any obstructions, always land upon its feet. 3) Therefore, it stands to reason that if one were to affix a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat and tossed it into the air, anti-gravity would be acheived.

That all depends on which side the toast is buttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
