I've just disproved all known science and mathematics...

I've done this too with gravity when going over the handlebars. Unfortunately the effects of my attempt at suspending gravity only lasted for a few seconds.

I'm keen to try again when I get out of hospital.

Assuming that "a few" seconds is at least 3, and that gravity wasn't actually suspended, that would mean a flightpath achieving the impressive height of at least 11 metres* above the ground. If some thought had gone into location of said incident, you could have carried out a rather quick inspection of your roof tiles without worrying about borrowing ladders.

* or 36 feet, or one tennis court width, or about 1 double decker bus length. Other units of measurement are available.

dropped a slice of toast and it landed butter side up????

What the actual fark?

Bistromaths!

Sod's Third Law of Buggeration:
Toast always falls butter side down EXCEPT when attempting to prove Sod's Law.

No wonder you fell off you farkwit, do not attempt to butter toast whilst riding.

Honesty some people..

According to the eponymous Law, "Macpherson's piece aye fa's jeely side doon".

The exception that proves the rule
(I've never understood that phrase, BTW)

If something is an exception, there must therefore be a rule that has this as it's exception .. I think

Weeell. There are always those won't believe it's not butter. Does the Law also apply to marge?

Not sure where The Simpson come into this but Marge also can't believe it's not butter.

In the context of that phrase 'prove' means to test the rule to prove its value.

Is that like the yeast that proves the dough?

(I've never understood that phrase, BTW)

In this case, the word 'prove' is used in the context of 'test'. eg Alcohol is tested and given a proof number.
So, basically you have an exception (ie an outlier) that tests the rule, not confirms it.

The solution is very simple, I don’t know why no one has thought of it before.

Don’t drop your toast.

I’m a bonafide genius me.
