1. Priceline.com once tried to let people bid on gas and groceries. It collapsed in 2000, after burning through $200 million to $300 million, and the stock fell from $104 to $5.81 in under a year.
2. Toast IS scientifically more likely to land butter-side down. That’s because, at table-height, it usually only has time to execute a half-somersault before it lands on the floor. And before falling, your toast is usually butter-side up.
(Okay. But everyone knows cats always land on their feet, so what would happen if a slice of toast were attached, butter-side-up, to the back of a dropped cat???)
