Balancing Act.

2009.04.27
Nikon D70s | f/4.5 | 1/60" | ISO 200 | 70mm

Information Society - What's On Your Mind [Pure-Energy]

Okay, allow me to explain for those who are [understandably] a bit confused here. On the table, there is an upside down wine glass, then on said glass' base is your run-of-the-mill metallic salt/pepper shaker [ha ha], from here we have your ordinary wooden toothpick inserted into one of the slots of the shaker. Now, there is a second wooden toothpick just 'resting' on the other which is tangled with two forks, which also happen to be tangled. A waiter on a cruise ship set this up this in front of our party. Yes, on a real moving cruise ship. Now, I understand that these ships nowadays are billions and millions of tons heavy, but that is still pretty cool if you ask me. That's all folks. Cheers.

lookagain Yes...that's very cool! Wonder if the waiter had to display his skills of balancing table objects before he got the job!

JuliaGotz this just made me laugh! so much fun. I come from a family of people who like to balance objects at the dinner table, but this one wins the prize.
