I may not be completely sane, but at least I don't think I have the power to influence the weather.

Thanks for an amusing article, though it might not end in fun, especially if Mayor Bloomberg decides that the barrel and ball have to go to the furnace for the sake of people's safety.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.
