# Clackers were banned at our school

# Did they?
I'm not up on popular culture.
One of my favourite toys was a gyroscope that lit with the energy of its own motion and came with a miniature Eiffel tower that you could balance it on as it spun. I was fascinated by that ( of course I was, it was SCIENCE)

edit:// my old mind is fuddled. The light up one was a huge thing and did not come with the tower, that was a smaller die-cast gyro. I had both at different times.

# You do know that Science doesn't exist right?
It is all a concept invented by the NWO to keep you in your place! If teh truth came out, we would all be able to fly!

TRUFAX!
