As a young man I had a subscription to OMNI magazine. In one issue the readers were challenged to invent a perpetual motion machine,
The wining entry:


Take a cat and drop it, it will land on its feet

Take a piece of buttered toast and drop it, it will land butter side down.

Tape a piece of butter toast, butter side up, to the cats back,drop the cat and the opposing forces will cause the cat/toast machine to rotate creating perpetual motion.

Creative thought process I thought, although I have absolutely no idea why I remember this.
