Woohoo for being ultra-tiny. When I used to play I couldn't get hit unless four or five of the big guys tried at once. I should play again some time...
I sustained a serious eye injury playing dodgeball. I almost lost my left eye (the good eye, natch). I spent my birthday, the school spelling bee, and Thanksgiving weekend on morphine. You can imagine how well the spelling bee went. I had to make an effort to step up a curb.
Whenever I played dodgeball in gym, I was the fat one, yet I was also the fastest. I couldn't throw for crap, though. However, there be a time limit, I'm perfect.
That's why they called me "The Matrix". Because, to me, all time is Bullet Time.
I was good at dodging, but couldn't catch and couldn't throw. So I'd pick up loose balls and give them to other people. A good way to stay on your classmates' good side, at least in gym!
You have probably been told this before, but what an excellent way this would be to teach math to kids!! I can see using this in my social studies class already... thanks for a fab site.
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others.
I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.
