I forget what you call these but could you identify and give more examples (just for fun)?

If buttered toast always falls to the floor buttered side down, would a piece of toast spin for eternity if you buttered both sides and dropped it?

Update:

Oh wow....first two answers thought this was a serious claim. It's classified under jokes and Riddles, people....hahah

    Explore Murphy's Law, Self-fulfilling prophecies and paradoxes!

    Then figure out how they make worst case scenarios reality. In real life it seems that the worst things seem to happen more frequent or easier than the ideal. It's not law or fact however, just perception and your state of mind.

    If buttered toast always lands buttered side up and a cat always lands on his feet what would happen if you straped a piece of buttered toast to a cat's back buttered side up and threw him off of something?

    no, if you drop the buttered toast(the first one) from a height of 9 meters or more, the plane side would fall down

    A watched pot never boils is another.
