So is the trackball a life saving device?

Also, I think I'm going to start calling it the Weighted Companion Ball.

Just a little joke about last year's tubes that is probably only funny to me.

Its probably more life threatening than saving.

It's funny to participants from last year who remember that the tubes read "Not a Lifesaving Device".

And yes, more threatening than not. I'm one of the tallest on my team and I'm scared, sort of.

Oh, and a side note, This very large Blue trackball in Time's Square (http://photos-339.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sf2p/v165/138/120/48808339/n48808339_31494477_9438.jpg) is looking at me funny... idk why.

some of our smaller team members had trouble grabbing it, but with that much air inside i have no worries about it floating.
to summarize: it would float, but you probably would have trouble grabbing it. and as other team members insist on disproving, you cannot stand on the ball (it could become a life-ending device, please nobody try this)

"This was a Triumph,
I'm making a note here HUGE SUCCESS!"

Lol, I'll try to convince my team to put a heart on it. It defiantly is weighted!

You know what? I bet I could go blowling with the track ball... IDEA!!!! When the arena in build here at my team's home base I think I will set up some big metal pins and go bowling (nobody try this I want to be the first, plus it may be hazardous it is best if I try first so you can feel safer).
