    I still think Pistons is the funniest name for a basketball team. Spark Plugs would have been much better.

    Just remember, nothing is more powerful than a Rocket!

    but the magical conveyor-belt runway can stop it from lifting off, assuming you put wheels on the rocket.

    In baseball, don't forget about the Los Angeles Trolley Dodgers.

    A few years ago I remember telling my dad that the Lakers originally were the Minneapolis Lakers for the 10,000 lakes but he didn't believe me and has stuck with that the Lakers means "LA-er's" with the 'K' added to make it roll off the tongue. I love my dad but he can be really stubborn at times.

    There were trolleys in LA. Of course they were all sold off by the time the Dodgers moved there.
