The CPSC has banned the sale of Buckyballs, ridding us of one of the easiest ways to weed out children whose parents are too stupid to breed. (Srsly, who lets their 4-year-old play with rare earth magnets?)
I like to think of them as Darwinballs…

I just bought some, I’ve wanted to for a while but weeding out stupid children is just too worthy a cause.
The Parental Units bought me a small set last Christmas. I LOVE these things; they’re absolutely fascinating. So much so I eventually wound up buying a whole shitlo*d of them (>3000) so I could do bigger builds. If you find that you want to Go Big I’d suggest http://www.zenmagnets.com/ They’re better quality than buckyballs.
