I always wanted a Magic 8 Ball ® Mattel as a kid but I never got one. Now I have a virtual one. This is a very simple javascript program which you are welcome to copy. To get it, just view the source of this page and copy the script between the MAGIC 8 BALL START|STOP comments. My Magic 8 Ball ® Mattel was also available as a Google Homepage Module but it looks like Mattel has been scouring the web in search of nefarious Magic 8 Ball® Mattel scripts and vigorously enforcing their trademark rights. Their efforts could mean more money for Mattel - after legal fees, of course - but it certainly makes the world a less magical place. I've not been contacted by Mattel myself but if they do get in touch with me I'll post a copy of any correspondence I receive here. In case you are having any doubts about the efficacy of my Magic 8 Ball ® Mattel just have a look at these: Testimonials Okay, he knows way more Javascript than I do. I don't think I like him. _________________ Monkling   Oh yes, you do like him. He shares stuff freely and would teach you anything he could. Besides, the Magic 8 Ball® Mattel says so! Lou   I am going to die. I ask him if I was ever going to lose a lot of weight and he said "Most Defiantly. Then I ask if I was going to get good health, and he said, "better not tell you now" I take that to mean a lingering illness, emaciated body then death. What's the point? I am being cremated and no viewing! I don't want people looking up my nostrils. _________________ Pheebs   Well, my "friend" and I are going to live happily ever after. So I guess I'm going to believe in this eight-ball stuff.   Jer _________________ Pheebs, Jer, Lou   You're a riot, Pheebs. BTW, when my husband laid 'em out, no one looked up nostrils...he was verrrry particular about angles. Didn't like his guys/gals with noses pointing at the ceiling. Ah, for the good ole days at the funeral home... _________________ shsh   Okay, the Magic 8 Ball® Mattell is a coward. I asked a question and it said "Better not tell you now." What did it think I would do, smash my hand through the monitor? BTW, it's kind of scary to know you people wanted the 8 ball when you were kids, and around here it was our kids who wanted them. So I asked the 8 Ball if I was the oldest HW and it said: Without a doubt! So I smashed my hand through the monitor. Glo     I asked the Magic 8 Ball ® Mattell if I should stay at Lynn's another week. "Most definitely." Works for me! _________________ - Joanne   Pheebs and Glo, your entries made me smile and chuckle. I have a potentially difficult meeting at work tomorrow, one I'm quite worried about, and I asked the Magic 8 Ball ® Mattell if it would go well, the answer was "Most Likely". Next I asked, "Will I be happy after my meeting for the rest of the day?" and the answer was "Most Definitely". I can live with that.
