Brooke
dropped toast and I shot photos.
When toast slides off of your plate, it twists and turns through the air, using its tail and flexible spine to re-orient itself. This is its primary defense mechanism against human consumption. |

The first few slices landed buttered-side down. Breakfast was ruined! | |
We wanted to keep the toast consistently buttered, so we used a micrometer and an atomic scale. Shown here are examples of over-buttered, buttered and under-buttered toast. | |
Brooke dropped them one slice at a time. | |
Most
of the toast landed buttered side down.
Of the first loaf, only four out of 20 slices landed butter-side up. That is a 20% survival rate. |

Boy, there sure are a lot of these toast-dropping photos. | |
It
could be worse though, you could be watching a video of this.
