Watch the video. No splayed out straws on this one. No simple physics I am aware of either. Its a cheap blue nylon bristle broom. Just stands there for no apparent reason right in the middle of the room and not even exactly upright. Leans to one side and still just stands there. SPOOKY
Maybe CNN is going to start reporting on news instead of just propaganda.
The broom is simply standing at attention, waiting for King 0bama’s orders, which will be giving to it, on the national day of service.
Holy cow! CNN’s investigative journalism.
“Sign of the Apocalypse/Impending Doom Broom” ping.
[oh, good grief!]
Broom’s by Segway!
Spooky???? or just cut very flat and slightly at an angle so the large broom head is offsetting the weight of the slightly tilted handle.
You must think all those state fair sideshows are real also....
Great Movie.
Watched it twice when it came out on cable movie channels months ago and noticed it is back in the line up now.
Having played once with a broom that could do this allows me to understand that if the broom is carefully placed on the floor, the straws can spread just enough to evenly take the weight of the broom in an even circle on the floor.
Have you ever seen the old parlor trick of hanging a spoon & fork off the edge of a glass with a tooth pick. Again simple physics.
Who is CNN?
Is that the old Ted Turner bunch?
Are they still around?
I used to see Headline news in the breakfast lobby of hotels I visited.
A discrete fine tuning of the boob box to FOX, and next morning folks were watching Fox & Friends, enjoying it and wondering if this was some new show just on the air.
Really folks, adjust your cable box and unselect the CNN option. Then tell your cable company not to bother sending CNN to your house. Give them some other channels that you would rather see, like the Golf Channel, The Hallmark channel, NASA, anything else worthing of viewing.
Shouldn’t this be posted under Breaking News?
That movie is hilarious! The sad thing though is I think it is really happening. I loved the court scene.
LOL....yeah...if the broom stands for more than 4 hours, take it to the emergency room...
I have several knives that will stand on their pointy ends if placed vigorously on wooden tables.
