Re: Manchester Museum time-lapse 'shows Egyptian statue move'

I don't know what you want to hear, Russ. but there's no voodoo, black magic, or anything supernatural as to why one thing moved and the others didn't.

it moved simply because it had a little bump on the bottom of the surface which was most probably in contact with the glass. and the vibrations caused it to rise slightly. just enough for it to move/rotate on the the little dimple.

the obvious answer as to why that one moved and not the others is because the others had a different contact surface. no little dimple. and weren't possessed.
