Yay, it’s Friday! There’s an American-ism in here that threw me, but I did okay. Footballs, in my experience, do not spiral. Also, Tasmanian Devils don’t either (they are real animals where I live). The animated one does because it’s a pun on Dust Devils, which are mini-tornadoes. It’s fine, I’m not being nit-picky, it’s just that a dust devil would have been a better option in the list.
