fuck you mcdoanld's. ordered angus burger, 2 apple pies and a few drinks. i get a quarter pounder, no apple pies and don't have enough straws.
FUCKING MORONS.
LOL, anyone who believes that is real is damned fool.
Nice youtube quote: "This looks shooped... I can tell from THE FUCKING LAWS OF PHYSICS."
Since water is a fluid, and spinning would cause it to expand outward and descend toward the source of gravity. There is no way this would work.
Durrr, you spin the cup, not the water. Since the water has inertia, it doesn't spin with the cup. Spinning the cup results in breaking the adhesion between the water molecules and the cup. Lift the cup quickly enough and surface tension holds the entire thing together, although it won't keep its form forever.
Seriously, haven't you guys ever seen the slo-motion videos of water balloons popping?

You can see that the water keeps its shape as a water balloon as it falls through the air. When it pops, the rapid movement of the latex breaks the adhesive bonds without disrupting the surface tension of the water.
I tried this in my kitchen with the cup. It's really cool when you get it to work. It took me 3 tries before I was successful, so don't give up too quickly! Give it a try!
Water is too thin, the trick will be easier if you use something slightly thicker like ink or permanent dye. And try it on the coffee table in your living room. Kitchens are tricky because of the vibrations coming from the refrigerator. You'll have no trouble making it work somewhere that there's a lot of harmonic insulators like rugs and upholstery.
you have to use DISTILLED water. not everyone has distilled water...so, it works if done properly.
It worked for me using regular water. It took a bunch of tries, but I finally got it. I don't have distilled water around the house, and I wasn't going to make a special trip for a temporary amusement. I imagine it would work better with distilled water since there aren't any impurities to break the molecular bond.
All I have is beer and if the wife catches me slurping it off the counter, she'll cut me off for the evening.
Ill believe this when you people post pictures.

It seems to work with any liquid once you get the hang of it. I just managed to do it with about 8 oz worth of coffee, right on my computer desk next to the keyboard!

You must have had the microwave running in the back ground. The free microwaves running through your kitchen would act to de-ionize the water, compensating for your lack of DI/distilled H2O.
The only drawback, of course, would be the brain cancer.

What if you are a dwarf though, we learned dwarfs are resistant earlier this week.
