This might not qualify as an ice-breaker as such but never fails to raise a smile and opens abstract debate whenever I introduce it into conversation....
Assuming that a piece of buttered toast always lands buttered side down (according to the law of sod) and a cat always lands on its feet (ignoring the terminal velocity of cats that fall from above five storeys or so....) what happens when you attach a slice of buttered toast to the back of a cat and drop it?...
I've used this in many different social and professional situations and as I say it always opens discussion up.
have fun
