In summary: The general solution to that problem is: Get a JOB! :biggrin: At least that's what my mom always told me.A job would also be like twiddling my thumbs. I am not qualified enough yet to get a job that would actually give me valuable experience. A few thousand bucks is not a good substitute for a summer where I'm not learning anything.Every job is valuable experience. Even if you're working at your local fast food place, you learn something about customer service, restaurant sanitation (or how badly it is lacking, depending on the place), dealing with co-workers, etc. There are always middle and high school students who are struggling with summer school who

That one on the left isn't a bowling ball. If you look closely at the logo on the other side, you'll see that it is in fact a Superbounce Fireball with a glandular disorder.

You could always cut them in half and hollow them out and seal them back up, maybe adding a layer of lead on the inside as ballast to keep the original weight.
The term 'ballast' implies that it's on one side to maintain orientation. Methinks you might have difficulty hurling a strike with that.

Well it's no wonder, you goof! You're using the wrong bat. Aluminum is just for the endzone. You're supposed to use wood for anything past the hog line.

Hehe - want to try that again? If its density stays the same, it still won't float.
Give him a break, will ya? He was only a sailor. What could he know about bouyancy? They save that stuff for officers.

Well, there goes another awesome idea. Reality is always getting in the way of my imagination. I guess I'll go back to GD. Oh, wait :mad:

Seriously though russ and brewnog, thanks for pointing that out. If I had stopped to think about it, or bothered looking it up then I wouldn't have to be embarrassed. That never botherred me much, and in this case it is all in good fun.

How about a nuclear submersible bowling ball? That would be much funnier.
