Meek) The Kite-Flyer's Dream? or, Something to Ponder While Waiting for SuperBowl (cribbed from _Skinny_Legs_and_All_ by Tom Robbins) Suppose a spaceship flew into our atmosphere and beamed up every ball on the planet. Every last football, baseball, tennis ball, basketball, volleyball, golfball, shot put, softball, squash ball, soccer ball, pool ball, bowling ball, even croquet balls and polo balls, all of them. What would happen? Would the male population go slowly berserk? Would blood flow in the streets? Would [the] boys just curl up and die? Or would it expedite the evolution of a higher species of mammal? ****************************************************** FOR THIS NEW GROUP THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUS.
