Happy Fun Ball has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. - michaelphw, on 03/27/2009, -2/+36Laaaa lalala la la Katamari Damacy
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -0/+31Wow, looks like the Chinese really dropped the ball there.
- TheScotsman1980, on 03/27/2009, -0/+21We just need to wait until the google streetview van has done China.
- InfiniteNothing, on 03/27/2009, -2/+23Huh, I was hoping this was the Onion
- KenSPT, on 03/27/2009, -0/+15I'd hate to be the guy who had to explain to his boss how he misplaced a small ball of radioactive material.
- Dumbledorito, on 03/27/2009, -2/+13Which Wal-Mart did you go to? I'd like to buy the nephews a combination toy ball and night light, too.
- LemonHerb, on 03/27/2009, -4/+15Do not taunt happy fun ball.
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -1/+10over 9000 people thought of it
- tavallai, on 03/27/2009, -2/+11Last seen near the Chinese border with a bowling bag:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_fun_ball
There's a link to a video of it at the bottom of the wikipedia page. - PeanutCheeseBar, on 03/27/2009, -13/+21"Caesium-137 is a radioactive isotope, formed mainly through nuclear fission. The smallest amount can cause infertility, cancer and even death."
So, basically anyone exposed to this might not be rendered infertile? Given China's population issue, I fail to see the problem here. - spthomp, on 03/27/2009, -0/+7I heard Jack Bauer has it
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -2/+9"Officials told the BBC that they had detected what may be the missing Caesium-137, adding that it may have been melted down."

.The next time your Geiger Counter sounds continuous alarm near a Toys"R'"Us, you will know why. - varun1s, on 03/27/2009, -0/+7May already have been found: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7967285.st ...
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -2/+8China Syndrome, hehe
- arkaycee, on 03/27/2009, -0/+6Up by one, but all useless now.
- decet, on 03/27/2009, -0/+6At least the're not losing a nuclear warhead every couple of years like the other bunch of morons.
- diggeratwork, on 03/27/2009, -2/+8Make sure you check the Geiger Counter to see if it's made in China first. You might need an additional one to make sure the first one isn't radioactive itself.
- socomoddjob, on 03/27/2009, -0/+5Doc Brown has it.
- ByrcheWroot, on 03/27/2009, -1/+6Did they check eBay?
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -0/+5Isn't this the beginning of an episode of 24?
- derekmas10, on 03/27/2009, -0/+5I suggest looking for a guy who is losing hair rapidly and suffering from back pain.
A watermelon sized chunk of lead ain't light. - sonick, on 03/27/2009, -0/+5I usually have nuggets of deadly radioactive material several hours after a 5-course dinner at taco bell.
- Yage2006, on 03/27/2009, -0/+5Oh that's what that was. I only got 10$ for it on ebay.
- CedEx, on 03/27/2009, -0/+5As if they will knock...
It'll be more like,
Kno---BOOM (Door kicked in)
Then they'll claim they knocked, but no answer. - aimhelix, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4Watermelons are delicious.
- savoiR, on 03/27/2009, -1/+5I think by "lost" China just means to say we're selling this ***** on the black market. The contact info if you find the ball is just a means to place your bid
- Fullvinyl, on 03/27/2009, -4/+8I can't be the only one to have thought of Dragonball just from the headline.
- shutaro, on 03/27/2009, -2/+6I see they've graduated from lead-based toys to radioactive ones...
- wjlaw100, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4They Think it may have been melted down = No More Encasement.
- tdclark23, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4In a country where they do cavity searches on workers leaving an iPod plant or a thumb drive fab, how can something as big as a watermelon go missing?
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4News Just in...
Chinese 'find' radioactive ball

- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4It could also turn their offspring into mutant supermen.
- voyetra8, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4I wish I could Digg you twice.
We are moved to tears by the size of this thing. - raptorGT, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4Is it red with gold stars on it?
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3Maybe it's inside that North Korean missile that's going to launch next week!
- multiformat, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3Hey kids! It's the new Hasbro Nuke Ball!

(Ah, those were the good old days of SNL) - yetAnotherCroc, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3By small ball you mean small ball encased in a lead ball the size of a watermelon.
- seobro, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3Dr. Emmet Brown needed it for his cesium clock.
- Smokeydabear, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3Sounds like a job for Jack Burton!
- chikuten, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3They really dropped the nugget of deadly radioactive material encased in a lead ball this time!
- Sinnic, on 03/27/2009, -1/+4I don't know if you made this up or copied it from somewhere, but it's glorious nevertheless.
- Asrrin29, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3I've been working with Cs-137 in my physics lab for several weeks now, and I can tell you that it is not as dangerous as this article makes it out to be, especially in a lead lined container like that. Sensationalist article is sensationalist.
- IphtashuFitz, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3Especially since "blame" can likely be replaced by "bullet" in this case...
- Androne, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3radiation can mess up electronics....
