How can you defy the laws of gravity?
There is a way to defy the laws of gravity. Start with two principles. Scientist and animals lovers agree that cats 99% will always land on their feet if dropped from a short distance. This is due to their lack of collarbones, and general larger mass towards their legs. It is also greatly accepted that buttered toast (on one side) will nearly always land butter side down. This again is due to the greater mass on the butter side. Therefore in theory: If you were to put a piece of buttered toast (not buttered side down) on the back of a cat, and drop the cat from a short distance. The cat should then levitate for eternity.

What would people on earth do with out gravity?
Those who were tied down to the surface would suffocate, since the Earth's atmosphere would be lost. Those who were NOT tied down to the surface would quickly leave it, as they continued moving in a straight line and the surface rotated away from them. On the bright side, however, nobody would fall out of bed.

If superstitions were true then what would happen if you tied a piece of buttered toast to a cats back and dropped it?
This isn't really a superstition. It is said that a cat always lands with his feet on the ground (not true, by the way), and it is said that when you drop a piece of buttered toast it always lands butter side down (not true either). So if you tied a piece of buttered toast butter side up to a cat, the cat would of course spin all the way down. It's a joke, not a superstition.

How do you make Texas toast?
Texas toast is just thick slices of bread toasted on a grill. You'll need thick sliced bread (which you can buy in most groceries in Texas) or an unsliced loaf that you can slice. Each piece should be about 1 inch thick. Rub butter in a fry pan or on a griddle and place the bread in the butter. When the firs side is browned, rub more butter in the pan and turn the bread. When the second side is browned, it's done. Some people sprinkle garlic powder in the toast.
