oh geez a while ago when i had a lot of time on my hands i worked out that the aguator from a chocolate fountain ie the spiral on a motor down the middle would make a great ball lifter if i disconected the chocolate warming part and just had the motor running

well it kinda run that fast that it flicked the balls straight back off from the spiral where it was fed from at the bottom so not seeing any balls appear at the top i looked down the tube containing the spiral and realised what was happening so i kinda gided the balls with a hand on to the spiral and up the tube

and well it was running that fast and that well it spat the balls streaight out of the top and i couldent move my head in time and cought an eye full then when my head moved they cleared the top by about 3 feet and hit the cealing

one of those embarasing stupid tricks i suppose not looking down a loaded gun type thing
