After watching a few of the other videos on that page, the guys in the movie "Dodgeball" come to mind.  :laugh:

Still, one has to admire the coordination. I recall reading that the yo-yo was a weapon in the Philippines, but when I just checked to see if I remembered correctly, I saw varying articles ranging from yes, to "sort of" to no.

I have had YoYos all my life and I still am no good at it.  There is a half dozen in my junk drawer right now, the Duncan wood ones...chris3

Are you telling me that the thing is supposed to go back up the string?  Seems I've been doing it wrong all these years.

stay safe.

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Heh. I was in elementary school when the Yo-Yo craze reignited in the late '90s. Everybody had yo-yos on the playground, toy stories started carrying them again in large quantity and variety, and so on. I got a fancy one with an auto-return clutch and a steel roller bearing in the center...but could never do much with one.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben
