	Eight ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To start the game, the colored balls are placed in a triangle, called a "rack." The base of the rack is parallel to the short end of the pool table and positioned so the ball in the tip of the rack is located on the foot spot.
		The balls in the rack are pressed into contact with the foot ball, and remain in contact after the rack is removed.
		Your ball is on the cushion near the centre pocket with your object ball over the hole but your opponent's ball in the way: Shorten your grip at the butt end of the cue, play down on the white ball with a sort sharp shot aiming at 7 o'clock.

		The balls are racked in a triangle at the foot of the table with the 8-ball in the center of the triangle, the first ball of the rack on the foot spot, a stripe ball in one corner of the rack and a solid ball in the other corner.
		Please Note: The incoming player has cue ball in hand behind the head string and may not shoot an object ball that is behind the head string, unless he first shoots the cue ball past the head string and causes the cue ball to come back behind the head string and hit the object ball.
		An object ball is considered to be illegally pocketed when (1) that object ball is pocketed on the same shot a foul is committed, or (2) the called ball did not go in the designated pocket, or (3) a safety is called prior to the shot.

	Magic 8-ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fortunes are given by a white plastic die in the shape of an icosahedron, floating in a blue liquid, with answers to yes-no questions in raised letters on its 20 triangular faces.
		There is a transparent window on the bottom of the 8-ball, and when the ball is held so that the window faces up, the die floats to the top randomly exposing one of its faces in the window.
		Variations on the standard Magic Eight Ball have appeared throughout the years including the "Affirmation Ball"; this is a yellow ball with a smiley face on it that gives twenty randomly-chosen affirmations to the user such as "You look marvelous." or "Your breath is so minty." [1]

	Pool 8-Ball
		However, after contact with the object ball, the object ball must be pocketed, or either the cue ball or a ball must contact a rail.
		After placing the cue ball, the shaft and ferrule of the cue stick (not the tip) may also be used for positioning the cue ball before shooting.
		The 8 ball and opponent’s balls are not wild, and may not be hit before the object ball, to complete a legal shot.

	8 Ball and MJG
		After signing the legends, an Executive at Bad Boy explained, "8 Ball and MJG are to down South what Biggie was to New York and what Tupac was to the West Coast." Indeed, Living Legends marks the merging of two powerhouses in the industry: Bad Boy Records and 8 Ball and MJG.
		It was 8 Ball and MJG who painted the blues on hip-hop, or hip-hop on the blues, and you can hear it in the moody tracks like “Memphis City Blues,” 8 Ball’s favorite song on this album.
		Together, 8 Ball and MJG are the necessary symmetry of two eyes, two arms--a unit born of the same hood.

	8-Ball Rules
		A single ball is placed on the foot spot; if more than one ball is to be spotted, they are placed on the long string in ascending numerical order, beginning on the foot spot and advancing toward the foot rail.
		If the balls are moved (or a player bumped such that play is directly affected) by a non-player during the match, the balls shall be replaced as near as possible to their original positions immediately prior to the incident, and play shall resume with no penalty on the player affected.
		An object ball is not considered frozen to a cushion unless it is examined and announced as such by either the referee or one of the players prior to that object ball being involved in a shot.

	The Austin Chronicle Features: Over the 8 Ball
		The Magic 8 Ball is an object of worship.
		The fact that the Magic 8 Ball is at its core an eight ball conjures up the phrase, "Behind the eight ball," a term used to refer to someone who is at such a disadvantage that they are almost cursed.
		The folks at Mattel (who purchased original 8 Ball purveyors, Tyco) must have realized that many of the questions asked of the psychic sphere are about possible romantic entanglements.

		A cue ball with neither forward nor reverse spin which hits an object ball WILL move away from the collision at a 90 degree angle.
		A cue ball which hits the object ball with a forward roll (called Follow) will move away from the collision at an angle less than 90 degrees (more forward).
		By Self-Correcting, I mean that if your cue ball hits your target diamond with the same "three rail speed" and the same amount of Running English each time you attempt these shots, the rails will maintain the proper english because of your consistent speed.

		Standard foul, but balls are re-racked and cue ball played from D if 2 balls failed to come up the table past the line joining the centre pockets.
		On every shot on which a ball is not potted, a ball must strike a cushion after the white has made contact with an object ball.
		In practice this means that if the balls are close but not touching, the player can "jack up" and play the cue-ball, with a sharp stroke, directly into the object ball.

		I highly recommend the Magic 8 Ball for kids of all ages, but be sure to note that if you know the answer to the question before asking, the crystalline matrix of the special magical blue solution will become deionized, and thus, cause the Magic 8 Ball to generate random, spurious, and possibly incorrect answers.
		The Magic 8 Ball looks almost exactly like the 8-ball in a billiard game, only larger; about five inches in diameter, slightly flattened on one side, which allows it to sit on a flat surface without rolling off, and constructed of very hard fl plastic.
		The Magic 8 Ball is one of the classic toys, like Slinky, Mister Potato Head, and Lego blocks, that have stood the test of time.
