My five year was at the table but facing away and I didn&#8217;t really want to upset her. It only lasted about ten seconds. <\/p>\n<p>Last night I was sitting at the dinner table and given a bowl of Miso soup. Miso soup is served in a light bowl similar to this &#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/japancentre.com\/items\/3243\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/japancentre.com\/items\/3243<\/a>. About ten seconds after it was put down next to me, the bowl moved by itself. It moved about 5 mm away from me and turned itself about five degrees clockwise in the process. This happened about five times in a row (same distance and turn) until it came to rest against another plate. Despite my moving the plate and watching the bowl it didn&#8217;t happen again. <\/p>\n<p>The base of the bowl was probably wet and obviously the contents were very hot. Would it just be expansion of the moisture on the base? Just intrigued as I&#8217;d never seen it happen before and we eat such soup in such bowls multiple times every week. <\/p>\n<p>Explanations welcomed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something happened last night which I found very interesting and I was trying to google the reason for it today, but without success &#8211; I assume because my search terms are so vague.
