If you drop a cat, it will land on its feet. If you drop a piece of toast, it will land butter-side-down. What happens if you fix a piece of toast butter-side-up on the back of a cat, and drop it?

Hmm.
Has this cat previously been owned by a Mr Schrodinger?

Heisenberg, Shrodinger, and Ohm are in a car together when they get pulled over. Heisenberg is driving and the cop asked him, "Do you know how fast you were going?"

Heisenberg replies, "No, but I know exactly where I am."

The cop says, "You were going 55 in a 35." Heisenberg throws his hands up and exclaims, "Great, now I'm lost!"

The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop the trunk of the car. He checks it out, and asks, "Did you know you have a dead cat back here?"

Shrodinger shouts, "We do now, moron!"

The cop moves to arrest them all. Ohm resists.

Hilarious + rep.

As long as both the lift and the bus are travelling in a straight line at constant speed. Should either be subject to any accelerations, things might get "interesting"....

The accelerations would need to be pretty big (outside bus/lift normal operational parameters) to cause much effect.

A simple turn of a corner in the bus would be enough to make the helicopter pilot have to correct its course.

Similarly if the lift went up or down a floor - the pilot would need to adjust lift accordingly.

I would just like to add please do not try to fly an RC helicopter in a moving bus or lift. Think of the people around you (this is good rule for life in general).

For this to operate at the greatest efficiency you need to make a couple of adjustments. First, make sure that you use a Siamese cat (they are considered to be the most agile of the domesticated feline species, and strong enough to hold themselves together under immense strain). Next, mount the equipment over an expensive Angora Rug (that is, ideally, of a pale colour) as they will stain easily. Finally spread a heavily staining sauce on the bread (experimentation has found that either Masala or Tikka sauce are the best). Now, when you secure the Siamese cat with the Masala/Tikka sauce coated bread on its' back and drop it, it has been found that (once they have achieved their optimal height) they will begin to rotate until they cannot spin any faster. The last tests show that this contrivance can achieve speeds in excess of 100,000RPM!

Well, I wouldn't want to test this is a crowded bus/lift, in case the RC's inertia happened to be meaningfully greater than air resistance...
