The conspiracy crumbles

[greatbear]

Soft chocolate chip cookies become crunchy when they get stale.

Crunchy chocolate chip cookies become soft when they get stale.

This leads me to believe that such cookies can either last indefinitely, or there comes a point in time where they continue this process in an unending cycle, a sinusoidal transition from soft to crunchy ad infinitum. Therefore, there must exist a form of perpetual motion or self-renewing energy, at least until the cookies are eaten. Is there something that we are not being told here? Or am I just being silly while snacking.

You decide.

I need to test this theory with the pounds of Cheese Straws I got for xmas.

Deb Sez, put the cookies in a 250f oven for 10 minutes. If soft cookies are desired, also place a pan of water beneath the cookies. 'course this is probably academic as by now, any big eater of cookies has finished munching the batch

...that and the crunchy cookies gone soft will eventually if ignored go crunchy again, supporting the....yeah, what you said.

Crap...someone figured it out..

*sigh*

Watch out for elves from Keebler tailing you.

Chips Ahoy get soggy when they fall into the ocean. Why they'd name a cookie after a boat on water I'll never know. But that's just how the cookie crumbles. That or I've lost my cookies.

If you strap a piece of buttered toast to a cat's back, with the buttered side up, then you can drop the cat (from a reasonable height, please) and it'll just hover over the floor, doing lazy barrel rolls; a cat always lands on its feet but toast always lands butter-down.

The problem I find in practice is the cattoast generator is not self limiting. I find the centrifugal force from the accelerating cattoast causes the toast to disintegrate which halts the energy production. Using a more durable setup, like melba toast, might damage the cat.

[danthered.livejournal.com]

Well, surely. I didn't figure I needed to elaborate on the centrifugal flyweight/shoe governor (a la rotary-dial phones) to regulate the rotative speed. They're fairly easy to build in when you install the slip rings to take power off the CG unit.

Yeah it's like hair grease.. if you ignore it long enough, your hair just shines!

A proper dynamo attached to the CG should do the trick, with excess energy shunted to a load bank.

I hope to one day test my hovercat theory by attaching small squares of toast with the buttered side to the cat's paw. The TBP (toast/butter/paw) junction should create a condition near the floor of localized toast/paw uncertainty wherein the toast's inability to rotate downward and the paw above asserting downward force will reach an equilibrium point roughly at a linear distance equal to one-third of the toast-pad area. Overall hovercat stability should result from the four paw repeller units. Should travel like an air hockey puck. Precautions would have to be taken to keep the cat from eating the repeller units though.

Think ingredients.

RUN BRO! RUN!!!!

DUDE! DUDE! STOP IT MAN! STOP IT! DELECT THAT DANGEROUS ANTIGRAVITY ,OVERUNITY, ZERO POINT ENERGY, BUTTERED TOAST CAT DEVICES TALK!!
IT'S DANGEROUS! THE NSA HAVE PUTERS! THAT SCAN FOR THESE WORDS!
DON'T YOU KNOW ?!!!! BUTTERED TOAST CAT DEVICES WOULD PUT ALL THE OIL COMPANIES OUT OF BUSSINESS. RUN BRO! THEY ARE GOIN COME A GUNNING FOR YOU!!! RUN!
BEST REGARDS,
