Astronomer's YoYo

Checking out the Aldi shelves and...........I'm a sucker for a YoYo. Especially for $1.49! Picked the red one hoping that it lit up - and it does!

So shouldn't upset the night vision!

Yo-Yos allegedly started as weapons. Which is exactly what they are in my hands :O I love 'em, but oh the misery. Such suffering... Such carnage.....
For the love of God lock up your pets and children!!!
