Question is does it qualify? ( Ragnvald 07:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)) Although I really think he did it in an ironic way. On "In television and film": I'm sure I saw "Dr House" using it. does anybody have any idea of the history of the magic 8-ball. What I like doing is picking up a display model in a shop, and asking it "should I steal this 8-ball", or some such variant thereof :D 128.232.250.254 23:03, (UTC) I deleted the redundant copies and kept the original text. Someone spammed this article by copying and pasting its content dozens of times. But if you really don't like that you can move it again and i won't object. I think the tyco thing should go in the first sentence.

Perhaps this modification counts as original research if so, feel free to revert it. In addition it lacks punctuation, so I will boldly remove the dash that is currently shown in the article for the "try again" answer. It says "Reply hazy try again", except that it uses small caps instead of lower-case letters. Any corroboration of this? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.30.78.21 ( talk) 15:23, 23 August 2008 (UTC) I am looking at a Magic 8 Ball estimated to date from the 1970s. I seem to recall the (1960's) text being 'answer hazy try again later' rather than 'reply hazy.'. Wschart ( talk) 20:12, 1 February 2015 (UTC) Standard answers I guess that whatever the die is made of has a low enough density to float on its own without needing a hollow interior to bouy it up. As I recall, it being years since I've had my hands on one of these, the die comes up sort of slowly rather than popping quickly up (perhaps to give an impression of "thinking"?). contribs) 04:01, 24 March 2011 (UTC) Presumably, "minimal bouyancy" indicates that there is just enough bouyancy to float.Preceding unsigned comment added by TJ Dimacali ( talk More importantly, how can a "hollow" die "with openings in each face" and "minimal buoyancy" float to the top of the 8 ball? If the die does indeed have any of these properties, it would sink to the bottom of the liquid-filled chamber and therefore be unviewable. To begin with, as I recall, no holes are apparent on any of the die's faces when viewed through the window. This is in regard to the following statement in the Design section of the article: "The die is hollow, with openings in each face, allowing the die to fill with fluid, giving the plastic die minimal buoyancy."
