Cat Flight A Possibility?

A study at Bristol’s rest of England University has taken the possibility of cat flying from the realms of Galileo’s used tissue to a real possibility and the clearly excited research team at URE have been running up and down the corridors, stamping, shouting and pointing up at the clear blue sky. “It’s a real breakthrough.” said professor Glynn Martin who has been leading the team since May 2007.

Professor Martin went on to show slides(see diagram above) demonstrating velocity, arc, wind speed and the now much talked about ‘rolling patterns’ which appear to be part of the new science which has helped this project leap so gracefully forward. It seems that if a feline subject is ‘rolled’ soon after launching it can achieve a trajectory far in excess of that previously obtained when no rolling has been used.

When asked about disorientation due to the effects of ‘rolling’ Professor Martin was less forthcoming and tried to hide his papers behind a student. Despite this small setback the presentation and press briefing went well and Professor Martin was later to be seen using the hand which held the papers in a ‘friendly’ way.

When asked if we will be seeing a cat walking or even running along the moon in our lifetime Professor Martin replies with a smile, “We could, in our lifetime, be seeing a cat walking or even running along parts of the moon.” And if not? “Well, we’ll certainly try our best.” laughed the professor.

OMG this sounds like the Onion!?

did you see the other article 'Cats tracked via satellite'?

yes,it's funny too I like very much this site.The post I clipped is one of the top stories of 2007.You can check out the rest of the top stories here

Miow...

LOL! I was just reading some of those stories from last year

That's it, Alan, without a doubt you are the Image Wizard of Clipmarks.

Awww! great image,so cute!! THX alan
I spent some time yesterday myself reading the top stories of 2007 and today some of the new stories.Interesting and humorous,sometimes I laughed from the title alone.I subscribed to their newsletter,this is definitely my new favorite site

I'm just loving that site - I will be clipping.

Through cat-a-pulting my pregnat cat until she came to term, and gave birth mid motion, she litter are cable of flight.
My findings will be published in the journal: Science. I can not say any as I dont want to disclose what is intellectual property

LOL Brimstone!!

Buttered bread on the back of a cat = Antigravity

The cat looked obese! To fat to fly!
