Magic Eight Ball helps answer a few questions
A little levity now and then is a good prescription for what ails you.
Let’s play a game. How about the “eight ball answer” game? Some of you may have one of these predictors of the future and others may not. Just what is this game?
It is a plastic sphere made to look like an eight ball that is used for fortune telling or seeking advice. According to Toy Tales, it was invented in 1950 and the user asks a yes-no question to the ball and then turns it over to revel an answer that is in a window on the ball. There are twenty possible answers inside a standard Magic 8 Ball. Ten of the possible answers are affirmative five are non-committal and five are negative. There are websites that one can play the game on if you do not own one. I have one in my hands. Let’s give it a try.
