Drop a basketball from a height, you've got a few flights of stairs to descend to retrieve it and you might even owe an apology to an angry passer-by.

But if you give it enough height and add a dash of backspin, you can watch it say GOODBYE, FRIEND as it curves a great distance away from its intended flight path.

This is the Magnus effect, where the descending, spinning basketball drags air around it, forming areas of lower pressure and high pressure, causing it to swerve away.

That is pretty funny. I feel that XM radio should change it's name to Tom Petty radio. It seems, every time I turn on the car, there he is, Tom Petty (change the station and guess who is there to greet me?) That is right, Tom Petty. Don't get me wrong. I like Tom Petty. But not everywhere I go.

If you don't laugh at this you must be dead. Sorry, but I had to link it.

Rosie, that was good.
