    macro has his animated one, I have a real one.

    I was wandering around in Chinatown on my recent visit to Chicago, and in one of the dingy shops there was a selection of real crystal balls. Actual quartz crystal, polished into perfect spheres.

    I had never seen one before, so I had to have one.

    So if anyone has questions about the future, post them here and I will answer them with the assistance of the all-seeing crystal ball.

    (the one in my avatar has a wee bit of fiddling in Potatoshop--I can't let my skills go to waste now can I?)

    Linear, could you peer into your crystal ball and let me know when my 401(k) portfolio is actually going to be worth the paper the statement is printed on? I'd appreciate it.

    It works! Linear just sent me an answer to a question I haven't asked yet... the answer was "no eddie, if you try that, you will electrocute yourself!" How do it know? :D

    Am I the only one that see's the modding possiblities with that crystal ball?

    I see a dark case with a glowing crystal floating in the center...or sticking half out of the top or front, glowing with changing lights...


    maybe I just have issues...:worried:
