Geek Week







Last week was "Geek Week" at USU. On St. Patrick's Day the Physics department set a record by dropping 20,000 bouncy balls from a helicopter. Brett and Parker went to watch the action. It was a little crazy with all of the college students that came to watch but Parker had a great time. When they dropped the balls he said that it looked like giant sprinkles falling from the sky. After the balls hit the ground and bounced they let the crowd go and everyone ran to gather the balls. Brett said it was crazy and was worried that he would lose Parker. Parker gathered 42 bouncy balls. He loved it. The great thing is that he has a bouncy ball collection. With the addition of the 42 new balls, he now has 99 bouncy balls!
