9/23    "Video: World's longest basketball shot"
        http://www.csua.org/u/p4y
        The ball seemed to make a turn in mid-air.  Looks fake to me.
        \_ That's called wide-angle distortion (ever seen wide angle
           shooting a straight line but it looks curved)?
           \_ I see.  Thanks.  -- OP
        \_ Looks relatively legit to me.  It's actually not that hard
           a shot, given enough attempts.  -tom

        Oh no, the same disease that has plagued football here at home is now
        spreading to soccer abroad.

        \_ No.
           \_ These women are pretty hot if you are old enough to date them.
              \_ No.  I stare at MILF's on the streets all the time, but these
                 are not one of them.  -- PP

3/27    Do most magicians have easy access to beautiful women? I wanna be Hans.
        http://www.flixxy.com/worlds-fastest-magician.htm
        \_ I dated a magician's assistant. She was delightful. Some of them,
           however, are really just interested in getting on stage, which
           makes them a bit too keen for attention off-stage.
           \_ Do they sleep around a lot? Like cheerleaders with basketball

Dude Perfect claim this hail mary off the third deck of Texas A&M's football stadium down to the field below is the "World's Longest Basketball Shot," so be it. The basketball never leaves the frame, it takes the right looking bounce (considering how flat it is), and their reaction appears genuine, especially if you guess this took 50 or so attempts to successfully pull off like I do. But hey, if you're still not convinced, Debbie Doubter, here's a second reverse-angle shot from the field. The trajectory of the ball for the first half looks like it's going to go to the left of the camera, then swerves to the right. Either it's wind, a wicked spin, or fake, but it looks odd. Report Abuse It curves in both videos so it looks like he threw it at a slight angle. Gravity had to set in somehow plus we don't know how windy it was. I think its real watch both videos at the same time the shot is spot on for both videos. Report Abuse It curves in both videos so it looks like he threw it at a slight angle.
