Shoppers Burnt By Giant Chrome Balls
BBC | Submitted by: Speedy Gonzales
"One man liked the look of the balls but he has warned his children not to go near them in case they get burnt... Weary shoppers were regularly sitting on them until soaring temperatures turned them into round ovens. "We've had a few people coming in for a cup of tea complaining they've been burnt by the heat from the balls."

I used to slide down shiny metal slides in the summer all the time when I was a kid. Being in Texas, they were surely hotter than those English balls. The English are whimps who just enjoy whining.

I guess the Sun doesn't shine much in England, only way to explain such ignorance of the Sun's effect on metal. Would you touch the chrome bumper on a car which had been sitting in the Sun for hours? Of course you wouldn't, so why are these Brits surprised that metal left sitting in the Summer Sun is going to get hot?

Fescue, I remember the same problem in a hot colorado summer. I think I lost some leg and ass flesh on that scalding hot slide a time or two.

Anyone who owns a car should have already run into the metal-in-the-sun-gets-hot effect (discovered by Dr. Francis Metalinthesungetshot)...why is this news?

"Honestly, you wouldn't believe how hot they get until you touch them." Honestly, yes I can. Heat + metal = ?. Seriously, how did you get this far?

Aw come on--this was a great trick. You think the artist didn't know what he was doing? Probably hid around a corner getting some great reaction shots!

Advantages to living in a desert. You know not to touch even water if it has set in the sun. Illegals come over the border and find water set up by do gooders and they die because the water is 140 degrees. Gotta love it.

We've had a few people coming in for a cup of tea complaining they've been burnt by the heat from the balls. **** You know I think I'd keep doing something stupid like that a secret. Not a real proud moment to admit you aren't as smart as a bird or a squirrel who had enough sense not to go near it...

You know, a portable water mister would solve both the problem of the balls getting too hot and the problem of most people trying to sit on them.

Wimps is right. First thing you learn in southern Arizona - EVERYTHING is too hot to touch! Everyone has a mark on the underside of their arm from just once rolling down the window and sticking their arm out. OUCH! Arm comes back in, window goes back up, AC goes on. Even the concrete benches are too hot to sit on. The asphalt melts. If you drive a motorcycle you have to carry around a crushed can to put the kickstand on, otherwise you come back from shopping to find your bike on the ground. Jelly shoes were all the rage when I lived there (ooh, told my age) and you couldn't wear them outside. They would MELT. How do you tell if someone's new to Phoenix? By their tan. People who've lived there awhile have sense enough to stay inside, out of the sun/heat. The general rule was you don't go to Phoenix between March and November. Too hot. Tucson got its first 100 degree day in April. Ya know, I was feeling homesick lately. Not nomore. I think I just cured myself.

I remember a story about some turd that walked out of a fitness club on a 120 deg day and fainted. Face plant into the concrete, broke his nose and got 2nd degree burns.
