The Professor's Comments

After being given a multi-billion dollar design budget and tasked to build a rugged personal mobility device, military designers came up with this: the Army Segway

Although his Razor became much more successful, Occam's Hooky-Thing with Wood was an interesting attempt to explain the theory of "Don't turn your back on a boomerang"

This is a contraceptive device for teenage girls. It is clamped onto the thighs and while allowing enough movement for normal daily activities, it prevents the legs from parting sufficiently for "pregnancy-causing activities." It is also promoted as an effective anti-rape device. Made from modern stainless steel, it can be worn in the shower and will not tarnish the girl's petticoats. Completely undetectable, it is truly "The friend of parents with teenage girls!" Needless to say, it was also designed by committee...

This is a 19th Century British toothbrush and was particularly useful for removing barnacles and trapped weasels. Soft polishing bristles were of course avoided completely in order to maintain that famous "British Smile."

This device was designed for killing multiple midget-vampires. It is particularly useful if the midget vampires have all had military training and line up in perfect regimental order

This was marketed as "Neighbor's Relief" and was designed to be a gift for that little brat next door that practices Cello all hours of the day but never has a hope in hell of ever producing a sound that even closely resembles "music"!

Robert Young, I think you've found the answer: The ball appears to be 1 inch in diameter and falls at 9.8 ft/sec2 (imperial gravity). The board however seems to be metric at 1 meter long and therefore falls at 9.8m/sec2 which is approximately 3x faster!
