I clearly need to get to bed because I saw this at the top of the page and thought, "Wait. It's Sunday already? Where did the week go?" ooph.

Conventional logic holds that people don't carry baseballs around with them. Conventionally, would you think a person with pockets full of baseballs as "normal"? Do you carry everything you own in case you have to logically prove to someone that you own it in the event that some conventional debate arises?

Yeah, Brooks... or "conventional logic vs. round Earth logic," or "conventional logic vs. heliocentric solar system logic." I'm sick of dogmatic round-Earth liberals! If the Earth is so round, why don't Australians fall into space? Eh? Answer that secular libs!

Definitely something Richard Dawkins would approve of! :) And @ChristopherCarr - the Celestial Teapot was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

Hmm, we grow our own pumpkins and I don't think we got any sphere-like ones this year.

I just hope the LEGO Death Star comes with a cafeteria. "I'm Darth Vader. I'm your leader." "You're Mr. Stevens?"

My old boss had a sony vaio/viao? laptop that had a default screensaver that showed the webcam output from the top of the screen. It was trippy.

Thats the idea, I expect to be surprised by markets and verticals that can benefit from the technology which didn't immediately come to mind.
