The other day at work one of the women said that the planets are aligned and when this happens you can stand your broom upright and it will stay.....okay I know this sounds crazy but today at work we did this...and I am not kidding but we not only got one broom, but two and three to do it....FYI Mops will not work. I tried.
Now some are saying it's due to the planets in aligned and some even brought up the end of times stuff....personally I think I agree with those who think it's simply a balancing act and once the planets go out of alignment we can do the same thing then. But still on Hallow eve....I find it entertaining. My own broom at home is so bent up that I guess my planet alignment is out of whack. I was planning on popping some popcorn and lighting candles around it and just gaze at it all night. Not really.
But seriously give it a try and let me know your thoughts once you do it.

Woah, really? As in it really worked? I mean you were able to balance the broomstick perfectly?
I dont really know much about broomsticks.LOL We do have them here but its a very rare occasion to see one. Our local broomsticks are designed differently. Maybe it does work because of some opposing gravitational force because of the planets being aligned. That could happen, kinda like the high and low tides depending upon the closeness of the moon. Well, those are just speculations anyway.
Maybe it works because people want it to work, and that belief leads them to be creative and unconsciously do techniques that successfully makes whatever it is that they wanted.

No it seriously worked....with angled brooms and flat brooms....mine at home did not work but I am sures that's because the bristles were all bent up. If you get your hands on a broom give it a go. And it takes less than ten seconds to balance it...it's so fun.

Well it didn't work for me and to be honest I think its a load of rubbish. I would have to see it to believe it. I can't believe I even tried it to be honest. Maybe I live in the wrong place in the world
