Ahhhhhh! planets are in line.....

towb3 · 11-03-2009, 10:02 PM

Has anybody heard of any hokey sh!t about the planets being inline and to try a broom trick. I walked into a store just a little bit ago and there was a broom standing upright. It had "been standin right thur yonder since friday, its because them thur planets are inline." I will admit, was kinda creepy. Anybodies brooms standing straight up, without leaning it on anything or forcing it? ha weird

98noma97 · 11-03-2009, 10:04 PM

i will find out

layinlow88 · 11-03-2009, 10:18 PM

yea...and its not from the planets being inline i think...its how the Earth is...all the gravitational pull is pulling directly towwards the center...could be wrong here...but i remember something about this

Tada!

slonlow2000 · 11-03-2009, 11:03 PM

We used to do that at work, its just cause all the bristles are nice and flat across the bottom.

Wrkn prgs · 11-03-2009, 11:05 PM

The foremost broom we've used for about 2 years, it's not very flat. The other two were brand new. The rear left broom has it's handle weight leaning to the right, and the rear right broom handle is straight up and down.

Onimun · 11-03-2009, 11:13 PM

Wait what?

rooster52478 · 11-03-2009, 11:21 PM

We did it with our broom the other day and it is a few years old and well worn. Dunno why it works though, I just saw something about it on TV and tried it out.

mitch55 · 11-03-2009, 11:23 PM

90blueS10 · 11-04-2009, 01:21 AM

Diablo · 11-04-2009, 01:24 AM

How long will this work? lol

goddspring · 11-04-2009, 01:27 AM

yeah didnt work

hh60cheese01 · 11-04-2009, 01:27 AM

I did it and it has absolutely nothing to with "planets being aligned"...

Daveman2 · 11-04-2009, 01:31 AM

This is about as exciting as drinking the right amount of soda and having the can balance on the corner

whoooaaaaaaaa try that on for size you broom balancers

didn't anyone ever teach you that a bundle of stick is stronger than 1 stick? that's why the bristles make the broom stand up, the ones that stick out alot probably just bend so the right amount , so alot of them touch the floor to balance it

If one of these ****ers goes up then I'll believe the planets are in line

pack of q tips · 11-04-2009, 01:33 AM

im curious if its just the brooms and we never realized this or if it is actually the planets

droppedime · 11-04-2009, 01:37 AM

In that second picture i posted the brooms bristles are cut at an angle..
Just sayin.

BUCKET · 11-04-2009, 01:38 AM

Well who knows. I just went and stood mine in the walkway of the door. See what my roomate has to say when he comes home to fine a broom
standing there waiting for him. While I am passed out.

stv-lo · 11-04-2009, 01:45 AM

It would be great if someone got drunk, stood one up, passed out, woke up and flipped the f*ck out because the broom was poised to strike.

Diablo · 11-04-2009, 01:48 AM

When the moon is blue this can be done. Brooms on tha ceiling!!!

556mm · 11-04-2009, 01:54 AM
