The Mystery of the Dropped toast

People always want to know why a piece of dropped toast will always land butter side down.

There's an episode of Animaniacs where they go to visit a wise lama and even he doesn't know.

Well there is a scientific explanation.

If you are holding the plate at about waist height, 3 feet from the ground, and the toast slips off, it has time to make one half revolution before it hits the floor. If the toast is butter side up it will land butter side down.

If you held the plate about head height, around 6 foot, it would have distance enough to make a complete revolution and land butter side up.

So have faith in science that it will eventually find the answers to everything.
