Bread's Locomotive Potential

I feel as though I must have already written about Wikipedia somewhere on here before, but a special mention has become necessary.

I somehow stumbled across the Wikipedia article for the Buttered Cat Paradox, a logical conclusion born of two absolute truths; buttered toast always lands butter-down, and cats always land on their feet.

We can all agree that the system adopted on the website is pretty good; normal people survey the pages to ensure accuracy and good standards across the website. Something George Putland and I found to our annoyance when trying to make a Jono: The Musical article.

A handy label, indeed

The 'citation needed' label is something we're all used to seeing, and is an important part of the encyclopedia as it lets us use caution when reading supposed facts. Definitely a useful tool, it would be difficult to argue otherwise.

What I just found was an example of this that I couldn't really see as necessary. In typical, kill-joy fashion, the paragraph begins 'In reality...' and goes on to explain that cats would be able to land the right way up (as if anyone was in any doubt), but it's the ending that really intrigued me.

I'm pretty sure that should be taken as read. Imagine the citation that would be used if there was one;

2013, Hawking, S. The locomotive properties of bread in its myriad raw and cooked forms. Journal of Applied Physics, 113 (4).

I realise that for a second time I've further diluted the internet with writing related to cats, but if you can't beat them...
