Standing Brooms

Someone at work said something about being able to stand a broom up today because of some kind of planetary alignment or whatever.  I did not really think anything of it because most people are idiots.  I got home and looked on facebook and three people in a row had pictures of a broom standing up.

I decided to try it for myself.  And as it turns out, a broom will stand up.  I noticed something though and mentioned it to Lindsey:  the broom seemed to stand on it's own because of the bristles spreading out and creating a base.  I also made a joke that it probably has something to do with an odd center of gravity.

As it turns out, I was pretty much right.  Check it out.
