Hands down...its that we're think he was running around trying to get home with a baseball in his slacks pocket.


Have you ever put a baseball in your pocket? Its not comfortable. And you certainly have a giant bulge as a result.

It wasn't in his pocket. He was laying on it when he jumped into bed. Or am I wrong?

It was in his bed already. I always thought he was lucky his dad didn't recognize his girlfriend when they were sitting in traffic next to each other.

No, it was the one he caught at the Cubs game. Had to be in his pocket. Necessary gripe in my opinion.

Ferrari Californias speedometers do roll back when you drive in reverse.

You can also see that mechanical odometers like this one are rewindable. When you run the car in reverse, the odometer actually can go backwards -- it's just a gear train. In the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," in the scene where they have the car up on blocks with the wheels spinning in reverse -- that should've worked!



How does a mechanical odometer work?

I see that scene, and every time I think. It would have worked, it always works for older cars.

I think they have some kind of ratchet think that prevents this.

Wasn't Ferris wearing a jacket, could it have been in his jacket pocket?

In the scene he throws his jacket off and jumps into bed....hears the snoring loop on the stereo, reaches into his pocket and finds the baseball he had caught at the Cubs game.

Naw...he was wearing properly fitting pleated slacks.

I just noticed during the parade Cameron and Sloan are holding hands for a good while.

I've always thought this too. Seems like Ferris' parents would have met his girlfriend

Also the part when his sister slams on the brakes not to hit him and their mom doesn't even look up to see who she almost just ran over

Cameron was such a puss that Sloan viewed him as asexual.
