  3. Crazy Stunt Using Promotional Basketball

    Have you ever watched basketball players making the ball spin when bouncing? Have you ever wondered why? Well it’s a little thing called Science!

    Recently, some guys went all the way down to Tasmania to drop balls off a dam. The reason? To show you the difference between a ball dropped with no spin and a spinning ball.

    The ball that was dropped with no spin behaved as you would expect. It fell straight down to the floor with wind being the only factor moving it from its mark. However, adding a little spin to the ball makes a world of difference. The ball quite literally flies away in the opposite direction.

  10. Hilariously Random Japanese Branded Clothing

    Flaunting something written down in a language you don’t understand, speak, or read is always a popular option. It’s stylish. It’s fashionable. It’s occasionally hilarious. You’ve got comedic stories of people wearing clothes - or more amusingly - getting tattoos, written in languages they can’t read. In the Western world it’s usually Chinese or Japanese script for that worldly and international style. It’s the Chinese word for Courage, the Japanese symbols for good fortune!  It’s actually meant to spell out soup, or water fountain, or something equally random or nonsensical.
