Do you believe in ball lightening?

[snoopy369]

Corrected

Not much of a MTG player, really... played it some, but never rabidly.

Star Wars: CCG (Decipher) ... now THAT I played rabidly

[Spiffor]

Much better

What edition was the other version from?

Is that a C card or didn't they have colored icons back in the Dark days? Since it dates back into the mid 90s I presume the latter.

[self biased]

that's the set it's from they didn't start doing the rarity icons until after weatherlight, which was a few years after i stopped playing.

Lightening the ball by filling it with hydrogen certainly allows some spectacular long-range shooting, but for the goalkeepers it's a nightmare, as it dips and wobbles through the air.

They tested that old myth with american footballs on the show "Mythbusters" and found it to be untrue.

No, it was what the Oakland Raiders were accused of doing when Lamonica was kicking those incredibly long field goals. Other teams claimed the Raiders were filling the footballs with helium.

But Mythbusters recently disproved this baseless accusation. A helium football can't push against air resistence as well as a normal football, and so using helium is actually counterproductive.

Which is, in any case, mucho yucky, and I ain't linking to it or posting a pic, so there.

So, what could it be? Dieing energy based life forms from another dimention who took a wrong turn on the way to hell?

Zkrib, so what rational explanation could there be for the length of Lamonica's balls?

PA, Pekka, can you post ball lightning damage pics?

[Pekka]

Nope, because my dads old home is pretty far away.

[VetLegion]

Did your dad think of it as a sign?

That's what I would have done, I'd have thought it a divine sign confirming my fears that I shall one day become president of the UN.

You mean, fears that you'll never achieve anything?

Laddie, would you care to rephrase that?!?

Best guess is that he got his long balls by kicking high.

Belief in a phenomena of "ball Lightning" is simply a result of the boundless self deluding capacity of the human imagination combined with the cultural power of mass suggestion from exposure to fanciful interpretations spread through the media.

In fact accounts of "ball lightning" can be easily dismissed as merely unextroidinary encounters with tiny squadrons of electro-death ray armed UFOs.

That too is delusionary. The skull sucking locust aliens sucked thier brain out a millenia ago.
