Glowing soccer balls, space aliens and moonshine

Hmmm my japanese isn't quite up to scratch but the gist of this article is that they are now releasing a soccer ball that has lights in it so you can play at night. I don't know why they don't just do what my next door neighbour did and soak a ball in petrol, light it and kick it around while drunk. The only problem was that it got onto the roof while still burning. It didn't burn the house down but it did leave a nice burn on the roof.

Ok if you all can't read japanese (me neither) here is gizmodo's article in english.
