    Yo-Yo originally invented as a weapon?

    According to a Montain Dew commercial the yo-yo is a weapon. Bet the Chinese invented it too.

    Greetings,

    It was a Semitic weapon.

    Invented during the time of David after he slew Goliath. His grandpa stepped up behind him and slapped David wickedly across the back of his head and told him, "You slung away a good stone you putz!! Next time put a string around it so you can get it back."

    Lo and behold, the yoyo was born.

    The earliest surviving yo-yo dates to 500 BC, made using Terra cotta disks. A Greek vase from this period shows a boy playing yo-yo.

    A little showy, kind of like speed forms meets yo-yo master, but impressive non the less. I think it'd be hilarious if this guy shows up one day in the successful street applications thread after kicking some punks arse with a couple of yo-yo's.
