well damn. at my old job we would make giant aluminimun foil balls(got one to be almost 1 ft in diameter) and i made a tennis ball sized rubber band ball with a pound of rubber bands(i was at the gate and really, really bored).

Actually, that's quite impressive. I'd like to know how they got the ball so sperical... I want one of my own.

i would say they compacted it to get it that sphereical. but the surface is too smooth and shiny

Balls made from candy wrappers, and a site devoted to them.
And I was told spending time here was a waste.
I love the I-net. :)

after much testing on the bollock meter, I have found that the densest they believe a ball can be is 2700 kg/m^3
any higher and they said I was a cheat :(

LoL, It actually looks really cool, I wonder how they compact it that much.

they know if you are cheating because aluminum doesn't weigh more than 2700kg/m^3... and that would be absolutely perfectly compacted... like melted together

not just one ball but many such balls were being constructed and nurtured all over the planet, many of prodigious size, others most elaborately decorated.

:laughing:

Hardly a day would pass without a pile of the things having to be compacted in an attempt to reclaim valuable office space. And so, the Ball was born...

Day by day, the Ball grew. It wasn't always easy as we struggled to master the problems of adhesion and shape but soon the Ball began to assume an identity of its own... and we had JDG, so its future potential for growth was assured. It is fair to say that we came to love that Ball.

Somebody needs a hobby. A different one.

REMEMBER!!! It's BALL-OM-ETER, not BALL-O-METER!!!



I like how they did the XRAY on the thing... You can move it around at three angles... You can see, from where they started, but it's not in the center... That's something interesting to explain...

That's something interesting to explain...

They had it sitting on a desk so naturally people put the wrappers on the top side, creating more material on the top than the bottom. They eventually noticed and fixed it.
