Why does a broom stand during equinox?
The broom can stand by itself, because the center of gravity is directly above the edge on which it balances. And the bristles are soft enough to spread out a bit at the contact point with the floor and provide a stable base to support the handle and allow the broom to balance.
When was the broom invented?
Brooms have been around for at least two thousand years. For the longest time they were constructed of twigs lashed to a handle. In 1797, Levi Dickenson introduced the use of sorghum, or "broom corn," as broom bristles. In 1798, the Shakers invented the broom vice, which allowed brooms to be flattened and sewn into shape. Come the Industrial Revolution, and you see Massachusetts making over a million brooms in a single year (1850).
