Sunday funnies

More baseball science: the atomic pitch.

Unimpressed.

Something always gets lost in translation: "31 Bizarre Foreign Titles for American Movies".

Exercise: it can kill you (H/T: Captain Heinrichs).

  1. Re: Atomic pitch
    Collisions with the air have eaten the ball away almost completely, and it is now a bullet-shaped cloud of expanding plasma.

    Official Baseball Rules:
    8.02 The pitcher shall not—
    (5) deface the ball in any manner;


    PENALTY: For violation of any part of Rules 8.02 (a)(2) through (6):
    (a) The pitcher shall be ejected immediately from the game and shall be suspended automatically.


    Altho, in this case, the point could be deemed moot.

  2. I think the ejection and suspension would be automatic and permanent.

  3. Thanks, Mr. Paco Sir, I've discovered a whole list of fun new links off this post.

    The baseball physics lesson was great. Now I know what will happen to me in case some Serbian or Bosnian or Any Other Terrorist decides to nuke WPAFB because they didn't like the Dayton Accords. Useful information.

    I especially liked the astronaut and the gorilla.

    We used to own a treadmill. We wore it out, and had to buy an elliptical instead. Those people are idiots.

    Yes. B.O. stinks.

  4. Rebecca: I particularly liked this one - "The Sixth Sense – He’s a Ghost!"

    Talk about a title with a built-in spoiler!

  5. Paco: I know! I wonder if any Chinese audiences asked for their money back?
