    if you have a broom, or an ordinary sweeping brush, go and stand it up on the kitchen floor now, bristles on the ground... balance it and it will stand by itself for a few hours. This is a thing that happens once every 50 years or so, it has to do with some gravity conditions... dont ask, Ive only just heard of it and I have a sweeping brush standing on the kitchen floor this last ten minutes!

    I'm too busy having a life & posting to random gits on the interweb to be bothered with that kind of malarky. The broom can go & fly itself .

    I prefer flying the thing. But I;m not allowed to now ever since the using my laptop on the last flight.

    I just tried it with 2 similar brushed of drastically different ages. One is all horrible and sticky at the bottom, the other brand new.

    It worked with the first one, the stick one.

    I could not get it to work on the second non-horribl one.

    Are you sure that's not just a very confused child with bristly hair?

    The commentary's good, but its just not the same without the live stream:D

    I heard that, for today only, if you slap yourself in the face really hard, €50 will come out!

    Try it, I've already got 1300, and counting!

    I think this thread came a few days too early, cause then we could make jokes about witches and broomhandles or something too.
