Er... Interesting, Mary.
I would have no idea what you were talking about, if not for the fact that I recently started reading a webcomic called "
Shortpacked ." (This week, I read through the entire archive.) In early October, there was a brief storyline which gave me some help. It starts
October 3rd , but the next strip (
October 5th ) names the giant ball.
It confused me, and I meant to do some research, but forgot. So, thanks for the reminder. A quick entry of the correct word into Firefox's search box (set to Wikipedia for this one) turned up
this page , which helped quite a bit.
So, now I get it.
Fun thought.
(As for Shortpacked... It's a mixed bag. Some very funny stuff, especially the semi-regular Batman strips, but I should warn you that there are some potentially offensive things -- language, mature themes, etc -- which can come up from time to time.)

P.S. Have you checked your LJ lately? Cuz the 9th is fast approaching...
P.P.S. Ooo, look! There's a search function on Shortpacked!
First Batman Strip Second Batman Strip Third Batman Strip <-- Good one
Fourth Batman Strip <-- My fave
Batman Begins Review Something about the JLA and the recent return of Hal Jordan The second half of the JLA thing, which includes Batman Er... something that kind of has to do with the first one, and also includes Superman Batman and politics The first shortpacked strip I ever saw, and the second-best one about Batman, IMO P.P.P.S. Okay, so this is more random commentary and links and stuff than actual FDK, but it's a random story which requires random outside knowledge to understand, so this post is actually rather apt, right? ... Right?
