Amusing Monday: Having fun — like a hampster
July 19th, 2010 by cdunaganI’m on vacation this week and next, so I’m not sure how many blog entries I will post over the next two weeks, but I wanted to offer something for this regular Amusing Monday feature.
In this video, people volunteer to become hamsters and try to
walk or run inside an inflatable beach ball.
If you’ve never seen the water ball, I think you’ll get a kick out
of this video. I chose it for its music and action, but there are
dozens of other videos on YouTube and other sites. If you would
like to view more videos, search for “walking on water ball” or
“water walking.”
If you’re ready to buy one of these balls, you’ll find lots of online retailers in Hong Kong and a few in the U.S. I’m not sure who sells them locally, but I saw a reference to K-Mart. It appears they start around $300, including postage.
If you’ve actually climbed into one of these things, I’d like to hear about your experience.

They look dangerous. It would not take much of a current or wind to carry you a long way from land.
