Odd Gravity in Australia

"Down" and Under has a whole new meaning

You've gotta see this one to believe it.

Ladies Singles Australian Open..... Maria Sharapova finds new Law of Gravity in Oz, or Newton's Fourth Law of Motion: "Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless they're tennis balls in Oz."

The heat caused a bubble to form under the court covering which is why the ball didn't bounce. ;)

Just glad I don't have to walk out on that tennis court.... got more than enough issues with gravity as it is.  Example, my chest slipped and now resides where my belly used to be.  Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

What's more, look what it does to tennis balls... um!!  All I can say is... er, that official bloke was game. :-"

Beg pardon, Ms. Karen. ;)

Happened due to "F.F.S.", and a rather severe case of it, unfortunately.

To the uninitiated, "F.F.S." means "Fat Finger Syndrome".

"Or are you using voice rec?" - Sorry, Karen...guess I stepped on your toes without thinking. Hope I'm forgiven? :)

And syd....  you confided that your new 'wonder' bra works miracles.  :w00t: :-" :X

Hehe, that reminds me!   When my sister was a teenager she used to call her bra an "overshoulder boulderholder flopperstopper."

A bit like jogging, I guess, but hanging upside down like that might help relieve the back ache for a while. :-"

I was there, and though I'm a bit rotund myself, I did offer to be president of the Stick Figure Association and try to help them get more recognition.  And the first 2 members are Twiggy and Calista Flockhart, so their high profiles will aid in that endeavour.  I just hope we don't get too many of those models with eating disorders signing up, it might present the wrong image...

However, while it would darken the association's image, there'd be all the more food for the rest of us. :-"
