Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 08, 2021

might take a while to come back down

Did anyone else think that might be Lio’s mom?

I had some in the saddlebags of my motorcycle. One bag opened at 50MPH and the balls started bouncing down the road!! OMG!

A rarity…truth in advertising!

Oooh, it might become Space Ball! Not more than one, ‘cause that’s been done, by Mel Brooks.

sweet, I wonder how far it will go?

Hit an Angel kid and you will be spending the afterlife down below

Must have gotten it from the Men in Black lab…

That “angel” doesn’t look very “dizzy”.

Definitely NOT false advertising……

The physics police are investigating Lio’s latest violation of the law of conservation of energy.

“Houston, we have a … a … rocket ball?”

I remember being absolutely amazed when I got my first “Super Ball”

Is that his mom?

At a convention some years ago, the organizers thought it would be fun to give out small superballs (abt. 1/5"). Within a day or so, the hotel made them stop and collect all the balls they could find. It seems folks would get a handful, go to the second or third floor of the open atrium and drop them. “Look out below!” Also, some brilliant doofus’ (doofuses? doofi?) decided to whip them down as hard as they could causing the balls to shatter. It was kinda dangerous for a while.

That is a heavenly joke.

Kind of silly really. Then I saw this footage of a city on a cloud in the sky. Laputa?

That city was supposedly observed by residents of the cities of Foshan and Jiangxi. At the time, the apparition was widely explained as a natural mirage, or optical illusion, called a Fata Morgana . That hypothesis came from a Texas A&M University atmospheric scientist.

Considering the biblical brew ha ha over the Tower of Babel, you’d think NASA would have punctured its way to Heaven by now.
