It is capable of travelling at 20mph, somewhat faster than a human being. Um, somewhat faster than some human beings. And for how long do they assume this human being maintains that speed?
Interesting article.

The burglars will probably steal the ball

Chase ... Schmase! Arm that ball with a 45 ACP and give it an '00' rating.

I was thinking the same thing. What, they aren't going to pick it up and heave it over a wall or lock it in a closet? The thing can't be any smarter than your average rock.
But here is a VERY funny comment from one of the Tory MP's Patrick Mercer, who is campaigning to give people greater rights to defend their property against burglars:
"It would be interesting to see whether the ball had used grossly disproportionate force or whether it would be deemed reasonable."
It would certainly give new meaning to the phrase "balling some chick."
And I'm trying not to put forth the idea of balling someone out...but I can't stop myself.
Worst of all is the idea that the Swedish might discover having a ball isn't as fun as they thought.

Well, if I had been chased by a ball, I would swear off drinking for years...

I'll never forget the voice of "The Tall Man", Angus Scrimm!
Was that the best low-budget horror flick ever or what?
The giant flying bug was a riot!
