Much lighter and only slightly less dangerous than twirling around a pair of scissors, the 360 pen is perfect for all those times you get stuck on a conference call or simply feel the need to spin something! People will stand in awe as they wish they had whatever it is you're delightfully twirling around, but be careful: if left out in the open, your 360 pen could involuntarily find itself a new home, thus leaving your finger sad and lonely. Buy one and take it to your next team meeting!

Where to buy:  Perpetual Kid for $7.49 + S&H

        @StephenChapman I had read an article about these berries, IRRC "miraculin" and how a company tried to sell them decades ago when the FDA suddenly re-classified the berries such that they needed many expensive tests. The whole project collapsed.

        I didn't know these things had made it to market, but I'm looking forward to trying some. This one item might have just made the the article worth the time! Thanks!

        @bmgoodman Hey, thanks for checking out the gallery! That's neat that you read about those berries in that context. I've known about them via ThinkGeek for a year or two now, but I *never* see or hear of them mentioned anywhere. Let me know how they work for you! :D

      @nicholas22 Wasn't there an episode of Monk or CSI where someone was murdered using this stuff... the killer gave them a little of this and then put Drano in their cocktail (which they couldn't taste)?

  • Beware flying ink

    I used to twirl my pens a lot. One slung ink all over me, which broke me of the habit (though it was momentarily refreshing).

      @JimboNobody Oh man, hahaha. Thanks for the heads-up!

      That reminds me of something that happened to my grandfather a long time ago. He used to shake bottles of stuff. No matter what was in a bottle, he would shake it up. Well, one morning, he was heading to work and took a bottle of shoe polish with him. Walking from the door to the car, he started shaking the bottle for no good reason and it ended up bursting open all over him. He was a firefighter and it just went all over his uniform. lol. I imagine it may have been momentarily refreshing for him as well. =)

    @Phantom Keystroker....

    It really needs to come with rounded edges so it won't cause you too much pain when the person you're pranking takes the damn thing and jams it up your @$$.

      @boothby If you *really* wanted to see someone get mad at you for something like that, look up the BSODomizer (Google it). That thing's even more devious.
