Jelly Side Down

Why is it a buttered or buttered and jellied slice of bread always falls so the goop hits the floor? Well, I know the correct question should be why am I so clumsy, but that is for another post.

Back to the jelly. I am sure the answer has to do with physics. Or something. But I always get this sneaking suspicion that the Universe is out to get me. Is there some statistical report somewhere showing just how often the marmalade hits the marble?

1 Gravity
2 Messity (discovered by oddly enough..by a clown named Timbo)
where 2 opposites attract ...creating a mess..
In this case the Goop and the clean floor.
or...Hairball and clean oriental rugs..

This law can be applied to all models with the same ending results..

No matter, all that is important is that you be recognize for your .... excuse me........Timbo's brilliant contributions to science in the form of the concept of messity.; ▶ Reply to This

Or E=MC squared.

He w.as disappointed that he was previously misunderstood, but better late than never. Cudos to Timbo.; ▶ Reply to This

Ya gotta love chaos!

Messity is a measurable factor of chaos and entropy, although possibly more apparent in chaos. However, it must not be discounted in the entropy calculations as it is essential.; ▶ Reply to This

Clever garooch..
I know a lot of people that qualify for that title.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Tim555 on April 13, 2008 at 2:22pm: order..
I like that Garooch..
Entropy is almost always used in the negative sense thus The use of negative here is kind of redundant...
giving that possibility of the logical extention being...order..

Well it is defined as..+ or -

Taken from the Chambridge dictionary...
entropy /"en.tr@.pi/ noun [U] SPECIALIZED
the amount of order or lack of order in a system...
thus my negative entropy...

I was using it facetiously...; ▶ Reply to This
