An issue of National Lampoon magazine published during the administration of the first President Bush declared the War on Drugs a "perpetual jackoff machine."  Perhaps clever minds here can extract some useful power from that work of wankery.

An illustration of this perpetual motion buttered toast-cat array would be nice... ;-)

Wonderful free body diagram but it's rotationally unstable.

Thanks Joe! That's very cute.
Wonderful free body diagram but it's rotationally unstable.
But that's exactly what causes the perpetual motion!

As Objectivists, I'm surprised you don't see the flaw in this plan.

You'll note that it must be hot buttered toast for this to work. As the toast cools down, the motion will slow down accordingly!
