Wel, this is just crazy.
I've noticed something weird about spinning tops. Most of them start loosing speed, then, just before they stop, the direction of rotation is reversed! Why?! What is the force that makes them stop for a instant and then reverse the rotation?
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, take a look at this video: [Apparently, I can't post URLs to other sites yet, so just go to YouTube and search for a video named "Japanese Koma"]
