Buttered Toast
Robert Siegel of All Things Considered talks with Robert Matthews, a physicist at Aston University in
Birmingham, England and the world's foremost expert on Murphy's Law. Matthews is
part of a six-week experiment across Britain that begins today. Up to 150,000
primary and secondary school pupils are dropping buttered toast. If the results
prove that the toast is more likely to fall butter-side down, Murphy's law will
be validated.

promptly. She finds that bacteria adheres to food almost immediately. Hear
Clarke and NPR's
