One last note, these toys make excellent massage tools. . p a g e 11 Mad About Design patent 5,996,998 A few years ago a 35-year-old English teacher in New York wandered around New York's Chinatown and stumbled upon some small acrylic balls at a store called Industrial Plastics. Influenced by a childhood fascination with a geodesic jungle gym in his family's back yard and inspired by a lifelong fascination with Buckminster Fuller, the architect and futuristic thinker who invented the geodesic dome, Kurt Przybilla glued the balls together into different configurations and set them on his desk.

The publicity for Tetra Tops is guaranteed to drive customers into your store, hoping to purchase what may prove to be one of the hottest new toys of 2001. Spinning tops have fascinated people since the beginning of time. For thousands of years, the basic design of spinning tops has remained essentially the same - until now. No one is sure when or where they were first spun, but toy tops have been found in nearly every culture on the planet. The variety of design is endless, but there is one remarkable similarity to all traditional tops - they all have only one axis of spin.
