For anyone who's every played "beer pong"... i present the best table EVER!!!

Four guys in the engineering department put their spare time and expertise to good use, and made the ultimate pong table!

2. Apparently the engineering students at WVU are
devoted to the most important and pressing problems facing our society. Particularly the lack of glow-in-the-dark beer pong tables.

6. Around here, 'pong' might as well be an Olympic event...
Drive by the blocks of sub-divided houses just off campus, and almost EVERY one has an 8' long sheet of plywood leaned up against the front wall somewhere. *L*

4. Top of table looks very cool
Bottom of table looks like a bunch of fourth-graders wired it. Come on, guys...don't they teach you what RIBBON CABLE is for at WVU?

7. I figure with 600 lights and all the rest of that stuff...
'wire spaghetti' was bound to happen.

Boys being boys, though, i won't be surprised if they're still tinkering with it.

Well played, those men.
