So, a few nights ago I was having dinner on the coffee table while watching TV. I had a glass of milk positioned to the upper left of my plate, when suddenly....my glass of milk moved slowly and steadily a couple of inches to the right. I wasn't touching it.

Well, I don't belive in psychic phenomena so I started to experiment. I looked for something round, and I grabbed a pencil, and I put it about where the glass was, and sure enough, it rolled a bit. (I didn't have a level handy, or I would have used that.)

Sooo...I put the glass of milk back where it was, and I lifted up the table. I had to lift the table to perhaps a 30 degree angle before it moved this time.

My conclusion? The milk was cold, so there was condensation on the glass. The table was indeed a little slanted where the glass was placed. The conditions must have been just right for the condensation to form at places that were enough to overcome the coefficient of static friction, and start the glass moving. After a few inches, the condensation had been distributed across more area, and the glass stopped.

Perfectly explainable...but still, it was weird....

Your explanation makes logical sense - but it's fun to imagine in these sorts of cases that something paranormal is happening.

I think its awesome to see stuff like that happen. Yeah, there's some fancy scientific reason why, but its much more fun to have it happen around a kid that's just the right age to be freaked tha hell out by it and really set them off, lol.

I got my evil on lately. [Smile]

My computer cursor has started doing that too! Out of nowhere it does a sudden move 5 inches straight across the screen. Or straight up.

Other times I'll click the mouse button and the screen will scroll a few inched up or down instead.
