oh yea! try it with a golf ball. but if you really want to impress me, try it with one of those super balls.

Last Feb, My wife got a Flu bug and she was out cold on the couch for 7 days. She couldn't eat or drink without violently expelling it from her system from both ends. She lost 15 lbs and when we finaly got her into the hospital, it took 3 bags of saline to rehydrate her.

It took another week to bring her back to being human again, but a total of 4 weeks all together to come back to full strength.

The flu can be bad, even a regular strain.
It sucks but you just have to tough it out.

She ot both the regular flu shot and H1N1 shot a few days ago. (she works in a docter's office), She had a lump on her arm a little bigger than a golf ball.

Fake. A golf ball might be able to slice with enough wind. To do the same, with a basketball would require a category 5 hurricane. But, they did it once. They can do it again, right?



Shit, if you throw a cross court pass with a basketball it's trajectory will bend. I say real.

Actually, the above sentiment reminds me why I get strangely optimistic when I see kids actually PLAYING OUTSIDE. HOLY SHIT, RIGHT?

You clearly wasted your childhood not playing baseketball.

A basketball hit with a baseball bat will do that kind of thing almost every time. The real trick is getting it to go straight.

The lower mass to volume ratio and increased drag with increased volume make it much easier to put a high spin on the ball, and easier for the ball to slice or hook.

Also, it's not wind that's primarily responsible for slicing or hooking in golf. Even (especially?) a bad golfer will learn this on a day with calm winds.

hahaha....
anyone that know about golf know what the rules say about this? I would imagine that it is still "in play" if the ball keeps moving by a source other than the actual players involved...


I'm fairly certain that it counts as a stroke and you have to play it from a drop.

There's been a couple plays along the same lines as this where it somehow gets knocked into the hole by a squirrel or some other critter, and they count it as a birdie or hole in one.

Maybe ask in golf forum/newsgroup?

I always preferred the blue ringed octopus. About the size of a golf ball, no anti-venom, and once paralysis sets in, the only treatment is artificial respiration until the venom fades.

Golf balls. Golf tees.

Still... the 20 golf balls and dog food were impressive

Maybe this will help:

The Sun: It is one million times the size of Earth. If the earth were the size of a golf ball, the sun would be 15 feet in diameter.

2. Betelegeuse: It is twice the size of the earth’s orbit around the sun. If the earth were the size of a golf ball, Betelgeuse would be the height of six Empire State Buildings stacked on top of one another. 262 trillion earths can fit inside this star.

3. Mu Cephei: It is 3,000 light years away. If the earth were the size of a golf ball, Mu Cephei would be the width of two Golden Gate Bridges from end to end. 2.7 quadrillion earths can fit inside of this star.

How can you define quadrillion?
1 million seconds ago = 12 days ago
1 billion seconds ago = 1975
1 trillion seconds ago = 29,700 B.C.
1 quadrillion seconds ago = 30,800,000 years ago

4. Canus Majorus (the Big Dog star): If the earth were the size of a golf ball, Canus Majorus would be the height of Mount Everest. SEVEN quadrillion earths can fit inside of this star. That number would cover the state of Texas 22 inches deep in golf balls.

Now that is funny, because I drove through the same type of golf-ball-sized hail in 1998, and my windshield didn't have a scratch on it.


That typically means you didn't actually drive through the same type of storm.

Now that is funny, because I drove through the same type of golf-ball-sized hail in 1998, and my windshield didn't have a scratch on it. The rest of my car ended up looking like a golf ball, but my windshield stayed intact.

Lucky me, I guess.
