Some things in this world just dont mix... dogs and cats, oil and water,
needles and balloons. Everyone knows that a balloons worst fear is a
sharp object... even a sharpened, wooden cooking skewer. With a little
scientific knowledge about balloons under your belt, youll be able to
perform a seemingly impossible task... pierce a balloon with a wooden
skewer without popping it. Piercing takes on a whole new meaning!
