Getting Out
The recent annual cricket match between the Shakespeareans and the Chaucereans was not without its usual features of interest and controversy. Lessons were, however, learned from last year’s encounter, in that the disastrous decision to invite Hamlet to stand as umpire was not repeated. His complete indecision when asked to judge on just about anything had led to the match being slowed to a crawl and half the players falling asleep as he pondered on: “Is he out or is he not out, that is the question”, time after time.

Important of Table Tennis Spin
I play table tennis and we can hit balls to spin them in just about any way we can, except to spiral down its direction of travel like an American football throw. Sure, it could be fired from a rifled pistol to spin like this, but I'm wondering if it's even possible for a player with a normal paddle to achieve this result. It is quite clear that this cannot be done from a serve (zero spin), but it may be possible during the game to combine a particular incoming spin with a shot conferring another spin such as the net result. Is a spiral spin. If so, how? And if not, why not?

NBA's floor is not ordinary
On the last day of 2015, the Lakers visited the Celtics. Kobe's career in the last visit to Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, the first time this season to take the "two double", a victory against the archrival, for Kobe is also considered a perfect ending. Before the game, Kobe also accepted a special gift from the Celtics: a piece of North Shore Garden home floor. On the decorated floor is also engraved with a small line: "In memory of your countless legendary performances on this floor - both enemies and friends of the Celtics."

Ambrose asylum
Yes, I acknowledge how cringe that sub-title is but I don't care. Even though my Undertaker vs Dean Ambrose WrestleMania article did not go viral in any way shape or form, it was still very well received by wrestling fans and non-wrestling fans alike. So I figured why not write another dream booking? This time, it will be a triple threat match between the members of the shield. And yes, we are headed back to the Ambrose Asylum.
