    It's not H2O powerd cars, it's H2 powerd cars, as in hydrogen. dihydrogen can easely combust into H2O.

    H2O powered vehicles? I've heard of hydrogen vehicles, but not water vehicles.

    Regarless, hydrogen vehicles seem to be treated as 'perpetual motion' as well. It just seems to shift the buring of gas from the car to the 'hydrogen plant'... introduce another layer of energy loss.

    How much shielding do we need to test buttered-side-down/cat's-feet-down?

    Hmmm. Could make for a scary instability?

    Do we know that the cat just won't explode if we try this experiment?

    But then Murphy wasn't a "scientist," now was he? (as in "Murphy's Law")

    Err.. a crash helmet would have done the job. He suffered a partial implosion (his skull), not an explosion. Can’t remember the configuration of the toast, there was a lot of it about. Possibly furry feet evolved through evolution, to discourage them from stepping on something sticky… highly precognisant if you ask me.

    BTW cats are cool. In real life, the one in question had a 5 foot 6 inch Irish WOLFHOUND scared to come near the house. That dog ATE a poodle once, and not the nice way..

    Off to Prague for a week, my life sucks...
