History (the story of 2 guys, some rubberbands, and a dream)
Oh and see our internet talkshow at http://satsq.blogspot.com/
It all started one day that I got the idea to make a rubber band ball sometime in March 2005. It was only about 2 inches tall when I brought it to school and Cody saw it and he was inspired by its greatness. A few weeks later he in PE he announced that he had made a rubber band ball only it was only about an inch tall. He then told me that he would be willing to go in on one rubber band ball. The rubber band balls are 100% rubber bands. Kaleb kept forgetting to bring his ball to school so Cody could take it home and add his rubberbands to it. Cody ended up buying some rubberbands and adding them to his so that they both had the same size ball. Somehow or another a competition to see who could make the biggest ball first started. Cody jumped to a quick lead while Kaleb was slow starting. now both have balls over 10 pounds. Cody's is a little farther over the 10 pounds than Kaleb but still... Kaleb's Ball soon got a name, Fredward an ancient hybrid name from biblical times. From Fred meaning can't think of a better name and Edward meaning man of great power. It took Cody longer to decide what he would call his rubberband ball but he finally decided. His decision was to call the ball Jr. a short and simple name. He decided to name his ball Jr. because it was like a Jr. to him. complicated, great, people stop and marvel at at... that sort of thing. However he won't be calling it Cody Jr. because he thinks that sounds stupid so it is just Jr. Well we have a new school year... our science teacher has a lepard gecko named... you guessed it... Fredward... I am thinking about taking Fredward in and do experiments on him like denisty by water displacement. I might even take a picture of the ball with the lizard.
