Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. Guys, imagine this. A soccer ball so ginormous it needs its own zip code. The Massachusetts Port Authority just set a Guinness World Record with a ball measuring forty seven point nine feet across. Okay, that’s already ridiculous, but it gets better. It turns out this behemoth ball would need its very own assistant to manage match schedules. Like, seriously? So let me get this straight. A state agency spent taxpayer money on the world’s largest soccer ball. And now they’re hiring a full time employee just to keep track of when it kicks things? This is not what I expected from my local government. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
