Not actually a post about long sunny afternoons of contact in the sunshine. have a look at this.

M Vandrot, 24, who is studying botanics at Edinburgh University, left the ball on his windowsill while he visited the city’s Royal Botanic Garden. By the time he returned, the ball had destroyed his own and two other flats, and had left several others uninhabitable.

have a look at the full thing,its this article here

not actually a contact juggler but a psychic, but we all know contact balls focus light and can burn things right?

be careful out there.

my original signature was tooo long.
this one is shorter

I was actually ordering a clear one this morning, and there was that very warning on the site...clear, acrylic balls can act as a magnifying light in the sunshine, so it is best to carry and store your ball in a soft pouch.

I think UCOF was lighting Myncis cig at a clapham meet with a cj ball

The existance of flamethrowers says that someone, somewhere, at sometime said "I need to set that thing on fire, but it's too far away."

I do that all the time... Light cigarettes with my contact ball, that is. I've not burned anything down, yet.

I also found that the acrylic balls will melt when left in the sun long enough, too... And they burn sock poi, and melt the plastic covering of those cheap, nasty chairs you get in uni accommodation...

Also, head stalls in the sun REALLY hurt. so does stalling the ball anywhere in the sun for that matter...

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

4 ball pyramid moves but the sun is still consistant enough through it that it will blister.
I have also used them to start a camp fire and to burn a design in a piece of wood.

Mine didn't come with a warning though (years ago). I learned the painful way. frown

Always use "so's your face" and "only on Tuesdays" in as many conversations possible
