Because Indiana is full of fantastical things and you haven't really LIVED until you've seen a massive ball of paint. Or so I've heard...

This is not a paint ball, which is a hollow shell filled with liquid paint. This is a ball of paint: a solid mass of over 20,000 layers of paint on a baseball. The owner, who keeps the ball of paint in his garage has worked on this for 28 years and counting!
