Wow - great little video!
I thought it was interesting how each ball would 'hop' over the cable and go across the floor...
When I was a child, my brother & I were watching TV (on a school day, and DEFINATELY not allowed by Mom!) and I went to the kitchen to get a snack. Just then, the house was hit by lightening. I was thrown back against the fridge but out the window, both my brother and I could see a ball (what we think was the lightening) roll off the roof and come straight down. After, the tv was fried. My brother and I went out on the back porch and saw that there was no mark (similar to the video) on the cement.
Watching the video & how it behaved in a similar fashion was very interesting...
