Answer: Ten Dollars

Reed Sandridge started giving money away on the third anniversary of his mother's death. He says she was a kind and compassionate woman who once gave him the advice, "when you're going through tough times, that's when you most need to give back." He had recently lost his job and remembered his mom's wise words of wisdom and so he started on his journey of "giving back".

He gives ten dollars away every single day to a complete stranger. He started a blog about the people he has met while practicing his hobby.

His hope is that sharing those stories with the world with help spread the "idea" and inspire others into spreading the kindness around, serving two purposes at the same time. One, by helping people and two, using the acts of goodwill as a way to pay respect to his mother's memory.

Answer: Ball

Mike's artistic vision for his ball of paint started on January 1, 1977. It was a small project he started with his toddler, painting a baseball pastel blue. At first he was going to just paint 1000 coats and then cut it in half to look at the colors in the cross-sections.

After painting it every single day and watching it grow, Mike found it difficult to stop painting, so he just kept on painting it. In January 2016 it will be thirty-nine years that he has been painting this baseball. It has over 24,000 layers of paint on it and weighs two and a half tons.

He lets people come in and take pictures of it and if they want to put a layer of paint on it, they can do that too. Just head to Alexandria, Indiana if you want to add a layer of paint to a baseball.

Answer: Yes

It's True. A 71 year old Taiwanese man, Li Zongxiong, covers every square inch of his motor vehicles with writing. He started this hobby back in 1999 and mostly writes moralistic sayings from Buddhist texts. It has caused him some trouble from time to time, as strangers think he is vandalizing other peoples' cars.

The police can't believe anyone would do this to their own vehicle, as this is an action which would generally garner police involvement. Li's family does not want him to practice this hobby and have forbidden him to buy any new vehicles, as they are sure he would write on them without a thought to the value of the car.

Answer: Taphophilia

For thousands of years people have visited grave sites and shrines. Sacred places to honor our great leaders, our beloved and our lost. Some use the term pilgrimage to describe one of these journeys but that word leans more toward reverence for the deceased and has religious tones. Taphophilia or tombstone tourism is also about honoring the dead, but includes an appreciation for the art of grave stones, the history, and culture.

This hobby can be achieved through a variety of outlets such as photography or gravestone rubbings.

Some collect epitaphs and still others seek out stories about famous people who have passed. This hobby can be incorporated with another hobby called genealogy, thereby serving two passions at once: searching cemeteries, but through a particular family line.

Though the people were enjoying this new fad, it's not clear if the pets were.
