Not your average geek.
Oh, to be a kid again.
Why didn't they have these when I was growing up? A longtime favorite, the crazy high-bouncing Wham-O SuperBall has found a new purpose: part of a kid's athletic shoe.
As if kids needed any help bouncing around. This shoe actually has several SuperBalls in its sole. The SuperBall, for those of you who are uninformed, is an amazing high-bouncing plastic ball. We used to throw these around the house, to my mom's dismay, and they'd bounce off the walls, sink, windows, etc. What you may not have known is that these toys employ a futuristic technology known as "Zectron technology", which was invented accidentally--as is all great technology--by Norman Stingley, who found a way to compress synthetic rubber to 3500 pounds of pressure.
