Levitron Anti Gravity Globe
Gravity defying, inspiring wonder and amazement
Globes have always been a prominent feature in any classroom, preferred by geography teachers around the world for the simple reason that it is more true to life than its deflated counterpart; the atlas. This due to proportion error that always occurs when one tries to project the surface of a spherical object on a plane. But even the majestic globe has its draw backs.
Unfortunately I haven't yet had the opportunity to visit either of the geographical poles of our planet, but I have seen pictures, and not one of them shows a massive tether reaching up beyond the clouds on either location.
This flaw not only means an incomplete view of the earth, but also subjects countless pupils such as myself to endless torture, wondering what mythical lands lie hidden under those tethers. Some said it was a conspiracy, the globe maker purposely kept hidden to location of Atlantis, the Nazi UFO base or Santa's workshop this way , but I was on to them , I unscrewed the globe, and to much dissolution all I found were two holes to screw it back up. I died a little that day.
Besides as statement for topographical rigor and against the unnecessary suffering of schoolboys with an overactive imagination, here's the real reason you should by it: it freakin' floats! Not so long ago that would be considered magic.
Even though you as a well informed modern person know it "has something to do with magnets or something", when you first lay eyes on the Levitron Anti Gravity Globe the little kid in you will take over and will naturally go: "Wow, Awesome". This will be followed by hours of examination, poking and using various bureau supplies to try to distort the magnetic field. The same reaction can be expected from friends, family and colleagues who see it, you ( who have repeated this process of investigation several times and concluded that there really are no strings) can look on at their childish behaviour with a well deserved scenes of superiority that comes with the title; "He who dares defy gravity".
The world is not exactly in your hand, but it is floating on your desk.
