When Boredom Leads To Accidental Physics Experiments

The scientific method at its finest! Someone has defied gravity by sticking a pencil to a wall and left a sticky note explaining they "used friction to stick this pencil to the wall." It's that beautiful moment when boredom intersects with physics experimentation. The static friction between the rough wall texture and the pencil surface creates just enough force to counteract gravity's pull. Next up in their research agenda: seeing how many pencils can be balanced before peer reviewers (roommates) demand they stop damaging the paint.
