[edit] Assorted comments

I think the tyco thing should go in the first sentence. But if you really don't like that you can move it again and i won't object. --Heah (talk) 18:50, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Someone spammed this article by copying and pasting its content dozens of times. I deleted the redundant copies and kept the original text. 64.117.157.176 03:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

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, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

...does anybody have any idea of the history of the magic 8-ball... like, why an 8-ball? --Unnatural20 06:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

On "In television and film": I'm sure I saw "Dr House" using it. Although I really think he did it in an ironic way. Question is does it qualify? (Ragnvald 07:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC))

What about Toy Story, when Woody shakes the Magic 8 Ball, gets "Don't Count on it," and lets it roll behind the desk? Should that be in the "Popular Culture" section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.252.21.197 (talk) 03:43, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] High School Musical variant

I see on the Toys R Us website that a High School Musical variant of the Magic 8-Ball is for sale. It should probably be listed in this article, but I don't know anything about it. Does anyone know it differs from the standard model? Pat Berry 19:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Placement of Contents box

Is there a way to get the Contents box to appear above the "Standard Answers" section? Also, the formatting of the Answers table needs to be cleaned up. Captain Infinity 18:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

The Contents box is above the "Standard Answers" section already, unless I misunderstand you... and I changed the formatting of the Answers table a bit to neaten it up a little. --Cadby ^(talk) 15:45, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Liquid?

What is the liquid inside? Is it colored water... or something more... sinister??? Can you drink it? Someone find out! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.161.126 (talk) 13:55, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Magic 9-ball

I reverted an edit which was unsourced. I spent some time performing a web search, and I was not able to find any mention of the information in the edit. If anyone has evidence that the information isn't just fiction, please feel free to re-add it to the article. --Ben James Ben 01:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is it a Typo?

In the first section the word "die" is used consequently referring the icosahedron inside, except one occasion. I think "dice" should be corrected. It now only bears ambiguity.
