I was watching that thread for hours. I love how other balancers,some of whom she apparently knew, drop by and balance some stuff as well.

Whenever there is a Reddit post on Metafilter, and I get immersed in it, I am always surprised when my back button takes me to mefi. I get sort of disoriented for a minute.

- stapler
- paper clip holder thing
- post-it dispenser
- box of tissues
- teacup
sigh.

elizardbits, if you want to learn how to balance things on your face, start with long things like brooms. They are much easier (because they take longer to fall off).

What's craziest about this is that she has all of this stuff on hand.

No, the trick is to use the stapler to attach those things to your face, that way you only have to work on your pain tolerance and not your sense of balance.

A true tale - we used to balance things on our faces all time for fun. Baseball bats were pretty easy, chairs not so much.
We lived in the middle of nowhere. It makes you a little strange.

That girl is mental...by which, of course, I mean that her mental protuberance is quite well-developed and agile.
