I have seen leaking
faucets and leaking roofs many times. It is still amusing and
interesting to see how the drops of water form, slowly grow, and
finally fall.
Obviously, there is some sort of
stickiness between the water molecules and the leaking object that
keeps the water drops hanging there.
Later in a camping trip I saw
mosquitoes that land on the water. I could see that their weight
has actually pushed the water surface inward. I wondered why they
didn't get wet and why their legs didn't go under the water.
