Lol. I'm skinny, so my weight didn't pop it. It's not rock solid either, so over inflation isn't the cause either. The problem lies with simple wear and tear. See, when I sit on these, I actually bounce.. like, up down, up down. So, after a few years of doing this they sort of wear down and start to peel, and yeah. Once an area gets weak, it'll eventually grow into a small hole due to the constant morphing of the ball.

After my first one popped, I bought a new black one, and I found out those were pretty cheap. After a month of use, I heard air escaping due to a small tear where the plug was. I thought it might've been just defunct one, so I got another black one, and it popped after a few months too. Purple ones are the way to go because they only pop when they get way too old.

We have a big blue one and it's awesome.

lol, I can just picture you sitting there at your computer, reading your emails or whatever, typing on the keyboard then all of a sudden BAM you the ball pops. It would be even funnier if you were playing counter strike or soemthing and then all of a sudden it pops. OR BETTER YET you're playing dead space then you are walking down a creepy doorway then all of a sudden the ball pops and it scares the piss out of you.

Oh man I make myself laugh so much.

It's more of a 'whoa, -what- just happened?' feeling. Well, the first time anyway. When it popped and I went crashing to the ground, I kinda sat there in a daze imagining that the cheap computer chair (which everyone else in my family uses) crashed apart on me. Then I realized it was actually my ball and I become sad.

..On the other hand, my cat was scared half to death and came slowly walking to the corps of my popped ball. I was sitting beside it as he furtively snuck over, to which I spontaneously shook the deflated plastic and made a "pisst" noise which somehow bounced him a meter into the air and then went running in the other direction. At least that was amusing.

Are the strengths color coded or something? I figure they might come in assorted colors for each thickness and durability.

Also you should start making marvelous discoveries in Super Metroid so people can go "It's been discovered already. Sorry to burst your bubble." Then your bubble bursts.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

I here black ones are the thickest, but it's best to avoid yellow.

Actually... Yes, kinda

Lol MM @ the cat being scared thing. I don't get why cats react so much to that noise, I guess because its the sound of another cat hissing?

EDIT: Ho-ly shit I didn't even know they made these: http://www.bindependent.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=eeb128

EDIT2: I thought I posted this yesterday. Oh well.

It froze after it showed your bed.

Must be nice having AC right above the bed though, currently I don't have any AC :(

Apparently you don't like him enough to recognize that he's a he, not an it.

Nope. I think I see a printer, though.

i listened to shpongle 4 while rereading railgun last night. when i saw "urban legend" i realized what they're going to do in the next episode.

overall, a worthwhile experience.

Doesn't having the LCD monitor make the picture look funny? Like if I tilt my head side-ways the colors look darker through one eye.

Also we have that same external harddrive (the white one with three green LEDS).
