RE: ATM eyepiece armor

[Curt Thompson <curt.thompson@attws.com>]

I wonder if eyepieces obey the same Law which states: "If you drop a
buttered piece of bread it will always land with the buttered side
down."   I think this is related to the Law which states: "If you drop a
cat, it will always land on its feet."  I read somewhere about a theory
which proposes that you tape a buttered piece of bread to a cat, the
assembly will hover a few inches off the ground.  I told this to my
six-year-old and he ran off yelling "here kitty - kitty!"  I stopped him
before Mom found out.
