- doctechnical, on 06/10/2008, -0/+5It had nothing to do with bacteria.
- Surferess, on 06/10/2008, -0/+4Those balls are wild! Must have really been something to watch when it was happening. Anybody got video?
- hollywoodphony, on 06/10/2008, -1/+4Cool. Rather than dumping more chemicals or whatever, they figured out a clever way to combat bacteria. Let's hope it works!
- doctechnical, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2"Each bag bulged with 2,100 balls."
Dugg for this statement alone. - faceless323, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2The population of Silverlake loves balls...
If you know what I mean... - drake77, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2doesn't plastic release carcinogens as it degrades?
I'm glad I don't live in California and have to deal with all of these water problems. - x5pfif, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2So much for protecting the environment.
- acrodev, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2It takes a lot of balls to execute a plan like this.
- Buddhaismybuddy, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1So what are they going to do with all those balls once they are done with them?
- doctechnical, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1I'm not sure they'd ever be "done" with them, but if they wanted to remove them a simple net would suffice.
- Buddhaismybuddy, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1I don't think there are 400,000 people in LA looking to steal a black ball.
- badwithcomputer, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1that's a lot of dropped balls.
- benologist, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1Interesting article. This bit struck me as odd though:
"But state health officials said the dangers were minimal because bromate poses a small cancer risk only after consumed daily over a lifetime."
Wouldn't your friendly neighbourhood reservoir with bromate be a nearly perfect source for a daily, lifetime dose of bromate? - INDOAZZ, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1Weird, but effective idea. Interesting.....
- greytfriend, on 06/10/2008, -1/+2Too bad the balls are black. And that they'll have to protect the area to keep them from being stolen. Oh - sorry for being negative. I actually think it's a very cool story. It would have been fun to be a part of releasing them.
- z3r4w, on 06/11/2008, -0/+0balls are touching
- laecolove, on 06/10/2008, -0/+0ivanhoe balls. white balls could reflect heat. circus colors would be fun. but what about the heated plastic leaching into the drinking water?

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1981)
Big Balls
I'm ever upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all
CHORUS:
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire
CHORUS
Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night
CHORUS
And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish...
