one of my favorite things to do on the badminton court, second only to playing badminton, is straightening the feathers on used birdies. i have this tendency to like to polish up worn and scuffed things, and these shuttles perfectly feed this pleasure of mine.
and i was thinking today.. what kind of person came up with the design of the shuttlecock? i wonder who thought, "hey, let's take a cork and attach some feathers to it and whack it around!"
AWESOME.
i think the shuttlecock in badminton is one of the most unique ball/projectile objects in all of sports. wouldn't you agree?

It also looks like the top of a pineapple! You non-non-nonconformist.
I used to wonder what the heck you were doing before you served birdies. I was like, is he really that particular about which birdie he uses? is he that pro? why does he go to rutgers?
but now I know. lool. illusion dispersed.
and i agree!
