I bought this cool little flying ball off Amazon, and it showed up today in a small box, transported by a large UPS truck.

I charged it up, turned it on, and the lights began to flash. Nothing happened, the rotators inside weren't turning.

So, I read the directions and learned you had to give it a shake to wake it up, oh cool.

It's supposed to hover in your hand, or return to your hand if you throw it up at an angle. I thought it would be a great ice-breaker to my new grand-daughter.

So, I'm in my chair, shake it, and throw it up at an angle. That SOB started flying around all over my house, lights flashing, bouncing off walls, buzzing my head, until it finally dropped to the floor and stopped.

Whoa, it was crazy. So I picked it up and took it outside. Once again, powered it on, shook, and threw it at a 45° angle.

It flew straight up about 15 feet, and headed West, over my carport, over Daniels house, and it probably landed in the downtown square. OMFG...

Update: I found it down the road, hiding behind a bunch of leaves...
