Is that what the baskets were made from when you started officiating? :D

Nah, they were made from black holes...it makes for a really short games, not even close to OT, since the first shot that gets anywhere near the basket gets drawn in and the ball never drops out of the bottom. The first team to shoot wins by default since the other team can't score without a ball....and we all went home early (This story brought to you in honor of our recently destoned associate).

Just in case you had any doubt, that was a deliberate choice of words/spelling (even if it was made up).

Actually, rimstone does exist. Not that I was previously aware of that fact. :cool:

Rimstone, also called gours, is a type of speleothem (cave formation) in the form of a stone dam. Rimstone is made up of calcite and other minerals that build up in cave pools. The formation created, which looks like stairs, often extends into flowstone above or below the original rimstone. Often, rimstone is covered with small, micro-gours on horizontal surfaces. Rimstone basins may form terraces that extend over hundreds of feet, with single basins known up to 200 feet long from Tham Xe Biang Fai in Laos<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup>

Hmmm. Learn something new everyday. Now, how can I apply this little morsel of knowledge to something useful. :p

I'll bet Jon Diebler knew that already.
