have you seen these animal finger spinners?
« on: December 19, 2012, 03:13:18 PM »

These are in several stores around here.  I generally glance at them and move on.  But the other day I did something I thought I would never do.  I bought one for the Hall of Fame.  Interestingly enough, I bought it for all the wrong reasons.  The one that has a bear shape on it does not spin!!!  It keeps flipping over to its side.  Mass producing and selling large quantities of spinning tops that do not spin seems humorous to me.

Cute.  But with computer-aided design and modeling it would have been possible to design them to be both cute and well balanced.
