I like oddballs because I am one myself.

Well that much is obvious

I like odd balls and what might have been's, and I respect the bravery and minds of the people who are willing to risk there reputations, money and lives to an idea they belive in, as opposed to those who just refine someone else's idea in the pursuit of money!

Absolutely,positively oddball.....so much has been done by taking unorthodox"it can't be done" approaches to problems.

Your definatly right there mate, look at all those people who said the sound barrier was impossible or that helicopters we're a technical impossibility

I prefer oddball myself,even though most items that are born in this manner are,well odd and in many cases no practical use someone out there believed in his or her idea and took the time and effort to bring it to frutuion.

In many cases the oddball idea has gone on to spawn a better solution to the problem or need it was going to address.

Look at alot of people right now monkeying around with alternative fuel sources and energy savers in their
basements and garages.Right now alot of people in their communties might think that they are a bit odd.

20 or 30 years from now their efforts might bring about the relief we need from fossil fuels.

If I remember reading correctly at one time the Montpieler brothers and the Wright brothers were thought as "OddBalls" look where their efforts have gotten us today.

So I say "3 Cheers for the Oddball".Their efforts may lead to a better tommorrow,or inspire someone else to come up with great things.
