Maybe its an international release because we don't use the metric system


As an engineer, I think that the ad for the gravity shift is very clever ... nice job Storm!

5-7-10: Actually the use of the metric system depends on the company or the industry. Many places that make/sell products internationally use the metric system.

FWIW, check all of the labels in your grocery store ... you'll find that most food products are labeled both in ozs. AND grams, or in fl. ozs. AND liters.

Didn't see the ad but that's clever to work in that number.

Being a science-minded guy I get a get a kick out of it.

Would be even more effective if Storm put a selling point out there that the ball keeps the pins low, like gravity would.  Nice, huh?

Hello, is this thing on?!@?!  Hello?
