From COLIN MORGAN
I know why toast normally lands on the buttered side: the rotation involved
on dropping and the distance to the ground combine to allow half a turn
to be performed by the toast in mid-air. If you do not believe me, try it
yourself: Push a piece of bread or use a biro lengthways to model the bread,
slowly over the edge of a table. See?
Now to untangle string theory . . .
