I watched closely as both of my sons were born and I can confirm this is exactly what happened; they launched out of my wife like ping pong balls... except with more hair.

Not everybody realizes that song was based on a real person.

Calling him out on #1, he asked "what is this Object (in the cylinder)?". Honey and ping pong balls are not a single object.

Also the bicycle question, you need a rear sprocket about twice the size (or larger) of the front one to negate the wheel/crank ratio. Only custom bikes made for this question would have that gearing...so technically he's right but no one will have those results. (Edit:with the possible exception of Krusty, because his crank may be larger than his tiny wheel)

This idea has been around for a long time. Many years ago (many, many) I read about a proposal to cover all the resevoirs of the southwest with ping pong balls.

Questions:
Since when is a paper-thin plastic ping pong ball stronger than the wood paddle?? Shouldn't the ball be getting crushed against the paddle?

And how do you get a ping pong ball to move that fast?? Isn't it to light?

I've seen her work before. She's much more accurate with ping pong balls.

Or a ping pong ball... propelled at speed to crushing velocity.

Putting the knives through the paddles could be possible. And cool.

The pineapple one is fake for two reasons:
a) it's not possible to practice it safely -- the margin of error is too small for humans
b) the odds of hitting the pineapple exactly horizontal in both x- and z-planes are too long
c) I frame-by-framed it, and the perfect cut in the pineapple appears before the knife hits it
I'm guessing that knife was made of rubber, or was CGI'ed in later.

The ping-pong ball one might be possible, but in this case, I'm sure it was faked. I think she had the ball in her mouth the whole time and the ball was CGI'ed in later like in Forrest Gump and the Bruce Lee one. If it were real, her mouth would have been open wider and longer before the ball got there, and she would have been using a sharp intake of breath to increase the chances of catching it.

Great show though. Upvote!

I've replaced the LiveLeak version with the original YouTube version. Seems ping pong ball trick shots is their thing.

They filled it with ping-pong balls.
