Christmas memories

One of my favorite Christmas memories was levitating the tinsel in our old living room.  This year for Christmas Alisha gave me some tinsel with instructions on a new and improved method for tinsel levitation.  All you have to do is connect six strands with knots on both ends, six inches apart.  Cut the excess tinsel past the knots.  Next, take an approximately 2 foot piece of PVC pipe, and rub it through your little girl's hair for 10 seconds to charge it up.  Finally, drop the tinsel "orb" on the charged PVC pipe.  It will briefly touch the pipe and then shoot up in the air and levitate.  Check this video out to demonstrate what I'm talking about:


So, so totally cool.  Big thanks to my hot wife.  -Paul (logged in under Alisha's name)
