Here goes 1 for today:

Q: Why cant a mute cat walk?

A: A mute cat cant mew.
Hence, μ = 0
μ is the coefficient of friction.
as friction is 0,movement i s 0!
so the cat cant walk!!!!!

and....a reply frm Manas, worth posting! here it goes...


Wrong. Depends on if the cat is currently walking or only
sitting. ;-) Because according to Newton's First Law, "every body
continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line
unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force." So if there is
zero friction, the cat will continue walking across the globe until
someone goes out and stops it (and someone better do!)

Then again, if the cat is Schrodinger's Cat, it might be walking
*and* not walking at the same time.

But of course, what fun are geek jokes if a geekier geek doesn't try
to dissect it to shreds? :-) Thank you for wasting two minutes of my
life.
