Sam, I finally decided that I didn't care what my
coworkers thought, so I tried this with a big
glass of water with crushed ice in it. It didn't
work very well. The water rotated with me
unless I kicked off with a good shove, and
even then it only remained stationary for a few
seconds before it began to rotate with me.

Do you think it's the floating ice makes the
difference? Or is water just unsuitable for this
procedure? I'll still have to try this at home with
hot chocolate or coffee.
