Great!

You made my day!

I love your accent.

How do you make it so when you pull, it stops short of disconnecting?

In the objects tab, look at the constraints thing. Add a constraint (limit distance, inside) from one ball to the other, keeping them from getting too far apart. In all likelihood, your problem has already been resolved, but I thought I'd help others.

cool, is there a way to use this in a physics simulation ? Say build a shock absorber for a car and really have it do the physics automatically ? In other words put some forces in there ?

Believe me, if I knew how to do it myself, I'd post a video. But simply to say I'm almost positive you could.
