[QUOTE="Geek, post: 2021300, member: 246624"] You thought Walter and the Dude got mad when that guy stepped over the line in [I]The Big Lebowski?[/I] Just wait until they run into this bewitched remote control bowling ball. The Dude most certainly does [I]not[/I] abide, man. Sadly, there's more tech involved here than witchcraft, which doesn't exist. Instead, this cheater's bowling ball, created by the nefarious folks at [URL="http://gizmodo.com/tag/900global/"]900 Global[/URL], uses an internal "weight screwed onto a threaded shaft inside the ball," and perhaps an incarcerated hamster to steer itself down the lane and into the target. [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/11/bowling-ball-9470-1109.jpg[/IMG]I joke about cheating, but the goal here is actually to help young children and those with physical limitations bowl better.
