One of the oldest corollaries of Murphy’s Law has been proven by physicist Robert Matthews of Aston University in Birmingham, England: he indeed found that “toast falling off the breakfast table lands butter side down because the universe is made that way,” he said after practical tests backed up by mathematical modeling. Actually, it’s the top side that ends up face down, whether it’s buttered or not, but most people do butter the top side.
