message: Aimee Mann used the bouncy ball as a potent metaphor in the song "Superball" from I'm With Stupid: "I'm a Superball, if I pick up speed get outta my way, I'm a sonic boom, and I'll warn you now, the velocity I'm gathering, will knock you down."  Asat (talk) 03:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Yikes, I must agree with the arguments at User_talk:Java7837/Archive_Aug_2007#63311065054, it doesn't show up correctly (on Firefox 2.0.0.17), and it's distracting.  I'd really like to be in favor of little easter eggs like this, but my gut just tells me no thanks. (It really is a clever idea, and I honestly commend Java7837 for thinking of it/trying it, but on actually seeing it, it's just really distracting to me) -Verdatum (talk) 16:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

message: the elements sulphur and silicon, according to the article. Given that the article also says they're made from vulcanised butadiene, which is carbon and hydrogen treated with sulphur, I can't see where the silicon comes into it. Worth cutting out this sentence? Brammers (talk) 08:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Silicon (rather, silica) is a common thickening agent, and would likely be used to alter the elastomer's (rubber's) physical properties.  Sulfur is a component of the vulcanization process as you point out.  But I wouldn't say that "Bouncy balls are made of sulfur and silicon".  I'll look at the wording and see if I can cleanup. -Verdatum (talk) 19:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh, the sentence was added here by an anon ip.  It doesn't fit at all tacked onto the end like that.  I'm removing it. -Verdatum (talk) 19:24, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

message: There are lots of papers about various aspects of the physics of Superballs: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=superballs
Maybe I'll add them when I have time -- or will you? :) --Bcjordan (talk) 02:04, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Superball science 

message: It's unsourced, vague, and written like marketing material. I don't have any sources to help it out, but the entire article is improved by simply removing it in my opinion. This line could probably go in the history section if someone finds a source for it: "Presidential aide, McGeorge Bundy, had 60 Bouncy balls shipped to the White House for amusement of the staff members in the White House." Without a source I don't see a reason to keep it, and Bundy's own wiki page doesn't mention it.

replies: text: That statement appears, and is sourced, in Super Ball. In fact it appeared on the main page as a DYK item. It was specifically Super Balls that were shipped to the White house. DES (talk) 07:24, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
