Haunted.... coffee?
« on: September 14, 2006, 11:58:27 am »
So I was having breakfast with my friend today, at Perkins.  He put down his coffee, and we're talking about whatever.  Suddenly, his coffee slides about 2 inches over.  I could have sworn he was pushing it, but he wasn't.  We both just looked at each other.  It was weiiird.....

Haha, that's happened to me before.  It turned out that the desk I set the coffe cup on was slightly slanted.  The bottom of the cup was wet, so static friction wasn't as strong as it normally is.  I think it may have something to do with the air underneath the cup heating up, expanding and helping to reduce the needed force to nullify static friction.

Yeah, there was a little spilled coffee under, but it didn't feel like it was sliding.  You might be right, though, if the water heated up enough to expand!

Ron, don't listen to the bull.  It is obvious that there are ghosts at your Perkins.
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Haha, mine moved in a really weird way too, but I was able to repeat the action by moving it back up to the top of my desk and waiting a few seconds.

Yeah, you're probably right. :(

Well for starters, these ghosts say "eh" instead of "boo"

Because of all the caffeine, they really are extra restless so I forsee a dramatic increase in slimer-type goo.

Just remember who to call if you see something strange and it don't look good (ghostbusters!)

Wait... this sounds like most people I know... they're all ghosts!   :o

Also, pfft, real canadian coffee ghosts haunt Tim Hortons.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...
