Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable?

"Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable."

-C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed, Part 4 (1961).

If cats always land on their feet...

And peanut butter sandwiches always fall peanut butter down...

Then what would happen if you dropped a cat with a peanut butter sand which strapped to its back?

Glad to see you posting again Juan but the op is nonsensical and...you know it...you may as well be quoting from A Cat in the Hat...and Dorothy is back in Kansas with Auntie Mae!

Glad to "see" you too, EdgyDolmen.

For what its worth, I rather prefer the question to the answers...

Juan - I was in college before it finally hit me that C.S. Lewis wasn't writing fairy tales. Embarrassing but true. I'll just read this one and see if I can catch up

Dodgy methodology, as any deity would have to wearily point out: Peanut butter sandwiches never land "peanut butter down". Why? Because a sandwich is by definition two slices of bread with something sandwiched between them. Both external surfaces of a peanut butter sandwich are QED free of peanut butter. Next question?

 

[juantoo3]

Next question?

What color red are red herrings? I've never actually seen one. Are they ruby red, or brick red, or perhaps vermillion? Or maybe mauve? I think mauve would be especially suitable for a herring.

Welcome aboard!

Never seen a kipper, skipper?

Welcome aboard? Never encountered a mauve pirate? Shiver me timbers!
