Careful when dealing with stored energy!

I ran outside when I heard "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!" and "Let's not tell the mentors about this."

Notice how the "foot", the part that strikes the ball, is always parallel to the ground? That is exactly how they teach you to chip a soccer ball.
This thing is awesome.

Similar story.

I was in the woodshop, I heard a loud "THUMP" followed by a "....tile still there? *everyone looks up and then down*"
