they invented a new science called "dont
let the balloon hit the floor" scientests are being very careful and bapping that thing before it can fall jumping over the couch and shit

dramatic oversimplification of the field... each scientest can only hit it once and holding it isn’t allowed. and sometimes the floor is even lava. so the problem is a lot more complex than most laypeople might think

The version my team invented was called "balloon ball" and the balloon had to touch a desk, wall, or cubical before it could be hit by a person again. But the important bit is that the balloon wasn't entirely filled with air, it was partially filled with the propellant from a duster can. That made the "ball's" path unpredictable.
There was also "balloon ball-ducken" in which there was a 2nd balloon inside the first balloon (and a sometimes a paperclip in the 2nd), but that sport was never quite ready for primetime.
Bullshit.
You're not a scientist at all. I can spot an engineer a mile away and THIS GUY REEKS OF ENGINEER TO ME
Yeah... I switched sides and became an engineer...
