@walleyrt69 Oh, you're making conversation with others and leaving out the best part! There was no mention that your slinky is a bit off-color. The weapons on parade back in the fuerher's day were all shiny and impressive, your gun is in need of some good old polishing oil. (for Louise, I'll add, Call for Mrs Walley!. Call for Mrs Walley!)
@71259mark Haha true! I actually came to this video for that reason. There's a really spineless person that my friend was calling a 'slinky' and i thought that was brilliant. Everyone knows a Slinky.
@chosenxeno "Gaming" generally makes people (at least temporarily) brain-dead. WII is fun, but I've NEVER heard of anyone not paying attention to a wet child or dying of dehydration (common enough with online electronic games that it's been noted) EVER by playing with a slinky, or a jump rope, or a board game...
@shmuli9 Actually it's been proving that gaming is healthy for your brain. Its also been proven that gaming can improve every thing from cognitive to leadership skills:)
@chosenxeno Actually, yes! The agility and cognitive skills that come from "video games" has been known for about 40 years, at least, and they ARE good, in moderation. (And certain WII "games" are actually quite physical.) Unfortunately, some people don't exactly know when enough is enough. I don't know of ANYONE who ever said something like "I'll finish playng with my Slinky in a minute, mom" and 4 hours later they were STILL playing with it.
@shmuli9 You haven't shown any example of why a slinky is better than gaming nor have you shown how a slinky can improve any of your life skills. I Win. Game Over.(lol)
@chosenxeno It acquaints people under 15 with physics, giving a real-life example, for one thing. You lose. Game over. (lol) In addition, humans, as opposed to most other terrestrial animals don't necessarily play ONLY to "improve life skills".
Good toy, well-made commercial, but I cannot help but think of that infamous/amusing parody ("Log, Log/ It's Big It's heavy it's Wood/It's log, log/It's better than bad, it's good").
i used to love my slinky......lol lol people asked how could this be fun...u just had to be creative.....I always came of up with new ways of trying to make it do what I wanted it to do....
This is a great example of how fast humanity evolves. Less than 50 years ago, children were content with... this. Today, they sit in front of a computer monitor and soak up information like a sponge.
@Tastentier Yea well unfortunately this "information" you speak of only consists of lolcats and the words desu and hurr ima durr being spammed into their brains
