Interesting article.  I often think of tops as a micro illustration of the way the planets rotate around the sun.

Would that prove that "God likes to play with tops" ?  :P Or would it count as "work" as it was part of creation and not on the seventh day? By the way, Einstein said he didn't believed God played with dice, although quantum mechanics seems to prove otherwise.

No doubt in my mind that God is a spinner.

God uses a whistling top because it is holy.
