The Marbles BrainCoach says...

Even when no one is using it, the Ball of Whacks commands attention! I like to try to make something unique every time I build with it. At one time, there was an initiation for new employees at Marbles; we would throw them the Ball of Whacks from a good distance and see if they would catch it in one piece, or if it would shatter. Good times.
