"Enjoy playing with your balls!" I was thinking about getting the big neocube alpha for my cousin for Channukah. He's a total physics/science geek. He's also 21 and when I visited him last week all conversations eventually led to him making jokes or comments about balls. No idea why. Anyways,→[More:] I'd like to send him this, with some appropriate commentary of course. Can't decide what's best. I was thinking of going with "Enjoy playing with your balls!" Any suggestions for better holiday sentiments?

I came in here to brainstorm ball jokes, but oh holy shit that thing rules.

Um...now no one can deny that you truly got a lotta balls? I figured you didn't have enough balls?

Is he a comic book nerd? If so, simply the phrase "Balls nasty" should have him rolling.

"In case you get tired of playing with your own."
If you can somehow work in a comment about having a third ball, that might work too.

"Your balls are simultaneously repellent and attractive, depending on orientation."

that thing will eventually collapse upon itself and take all of humanity with it. It is no toy.

Damn, that is cool. My dad is in his 60s and recently retired from making superconductors and shit... I think he'll love this.

I also love that one of the mathematically stable shapes looks just like a crab rangoon.

Oh, man - that's awesome. Add that to the list of things to buy for the (as-yet-non-existent) kidlets.

Hi special-k!

Just to give proper kudos...
I found the neocube through a post by Ambrosia Voyeur on Metatalk...It was something like "What are the best things you've discovered thanks to Metafilter." Anyways, my secret quonsar this year should be happy with his new mini cube!
