Walking the dogs. On the backside of the pond I stop to rest a second.
Bayliss, being a good dog, let’s out a low growl and I look down at what he sees and this is what I found.
A round, perfectly clear glass ball.
I cannot think of how this got there.
I don’t remember ever owning a nearly golf ball size glass ball.
The Gods Must Be Crazy is a 1980 comedy film written, produced, edited and directed by Jamie Uys. An international co-production of South Africa and Botswana, it is the first film in The Gods Must Be Crazy series.
Set in Southern Africa, the film stars Namibian San farmer Nǃxau ǂToma as Xi, a hunter-gatherer of the Kalahari Desert whose tribe discovers a glass bottle dropped from an airplane, and believe it to be a gift from their gods. When Xi sets out to return the bottle to the gods, his journey becomes intertwined with that of a biologist (played by Marius Weyers), a newly hired village school teacher (Sandra Prinsloo), and a band of guerrilla terrorists.
I like it.
Well, I lie.
I don’t LIKE it, but the name works.
I was showing the glass ball to Son-of-a-wrek.
Here’s his theory (disclaimer: he’s nuts): He says the moon is covered with tiny glass spheres. The dark government is mining these things for a secret power source. Some moon rock glass spheres are bound to get lost every now and again.
He wants to test his theory by running experiments. DIL vehemently told him “Nope”.
He’s studying it magnetic properties. I’m not letting him take it out of my sight. I fear for his safety
This is a hilarious movie. The Land Rover climbing the tree scene is quite memorable. And you get to learn that “click” language. I didn’t realize it was more then one film.
Bwhaaaaaa? The smartest cookies around and no theories as to what it is? I can’t see pictures on my (work issued) computer so I finally checked it out on my phone. Very interesting but I can’t see it clearly enough. Somebody make with the hypothesizing already!
I think we need more and better pictures. One of each with a ruler nearby to give us scale. One of all of them together. Theories need something to start from (unless you’re Qrazy).
