things moving around my neck2, lol!

[sara3]

okay, re-post from chatterbank. let's see what you scientists think!



today I wore a lightweight scarf, looping once around my neck, the ends hanging equally down my frontage, right and left. why does it then move around so that the right side is lower than the left? I straightened it lots of times but after about an hour, the right side was a good 6" lower than the left.

also, necklaces move (also to the right, I think). the clasp starts at the back, then works its way around to the right.

please explain! thank you :o)

It's down to your gait.
The electro magnetic counter gravitational forces ,exacerbated by your right handed favoured forward momentum, leads to the downward spiral of this forward motion.

Either that or Professor Bear is correct with his greasy neck analogy.

And good champ is ambrosia.

Or possibly in Travel?

[sara3]

mightyWBA, are you serious???!!!

[mightyWBA]

Deadly serious..I did a PhD in "Things moving around necks"
:-)

[beejay1124]

yup- told you so=thanks for the professorship mighty
sandy - champ and a glass of cold (real) buttermilk
sara- you like soda bread-we have so much in common :-)

[sara3]

lol, bloody useless! *rolls eyes*

[gen2]

I suspect you have a left-handed thread on your neck that is causing everything to move to the right. Try a comparison with someone who has a right-handed thread.

Ok, I'll try to be scientific :0)

The underlying reason is gravity but more info is needed. Was the loop getting tighter around your neck or was it staying the same size and simply rotating?

[sara3]

gen, are you implying that my head isn't screwed on properly? :-O

billy, I think it may have got a little bit tighter, but it definitely rotated.

I feel so stupid :o/

[beejay1124]

loop getting tighter , may be due to neck swelling
did you have boney fish for lunch Sara ?

[jno]

I think Sandy-Wroe is on to something... which way does it move when you're in Australia, left or right?

[tamborine]

I think it's your hair getting caught & pulling things about.

Or a voodoo spell to strangle you - got enemies, sara ?

[sara3]

loads, tambo ;o) (mostly beejay!)

jno, shall I pop over to Oz to find out?

right, bed time. thank you all for your fine contributions x

[beejay1124]

glad to be of help Sara

[vascop]

It must be caused by moving the head from side to side, the muscles in your neck then move and the scarf moves with them.

[jackthehat]

Didn't you like my answer, sara ? *sniff*

[jno]

no need to go to Oz yourself, just send the scarf.

[Laasya]

once iron and then use it.

Sandy Wroe
oh please !
You do not actually believe that tosh about water going down the plughole ?
