“We were in shock when it actually stood there,” 76-year-old Leo Deis said. “I took a lot of physics and chemistry at one time in my life and this is new to me.”
Lately, it is actually a common phenomenon. People have gone to the Internet, posting pictures of their brooms standing with no support. Watch a video, read a common-sense blog, or check out a photo gallery.
Deis wasn’t even the first one in his family to experience the phenomenon. On Thursday night, his wife’s sister from North Dakota called and said it had happened there.Later that night, around 10 p.m., Deis stood his straw broom up on tiled floor in his house and it remained standing with no support. Later, he tried the same thing with a paintbrush and got the same result.
