Oooh! I want the Power Ball with Speed Meter.

Davescool, do you know about the Keeks Word Game? Basically, you get a point every time you surreptitiously use a big word in something your say or write. However, the usage has to be appropriate to the situation and not obviously contrived. You can't just throw out some bombastic word hoping that it will earn you points. And you can't claim the points for yourself ... someone else has to give them to you.

So I'd say you get a point for "simple physics of the gyroscope." It's only a point because you pointed it out, though. Otherwise, it could have been two.
