I think the way some of these come into being is faster-than-the-eye-can-see 
action sorta-like contact bounce, but it's mouse-contact-bounce.  Sounds like a 
deviant kind of ball game.  But really, who knows?  ?quien sabe? como estan 
mouse bounce... And then there are all those messy remains -- some swept under 
the via rugs...hiding there.
