Better^ - blobzorz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I can do it. It takes hard work, but its worth it totally.
- onixxino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13You need some inspiration (spinning around thumb is a very basic step but most important since it gets you familiar):
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4236909970693038984 - Sibertank, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Uhhhg! I cant do it!!
- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It's hard to get the basic, but then it's easy elaborting around it. :)
Dugg. - IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Forgot to add that it's better to put your index on the very end of the pencil (the part where it's chopped off).
- thursvai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I've learned a multitude of pen tricks throughout my high school career..and that's about all I did learn.
- dave830, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5easy with the silent e abuse. Ever been to the Castle Arrrrrghhhhhhhhh?
- reaver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5My pencil just poked me in the eye. Ahhh!
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm trying to learn how to roll a coin on my knuckles... It's damned hard if anyone wants a challenge. I've heard 50 cent pieces are a good size. I found a coin with a 5 on it that I think is from Ireland and it's easy to roll.
- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The teachers are telling us to stop because it bugs them to see in front of them 30 people spinning and dropping pencils. :p
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4http://www.wikihow.com/Walk-Quarters-Down-the-Backs-of-Your-Fingers
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Too bad I can't do this trick due to lack of thumbs (born like this). :(
- hipsterelitist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Now we can all be like Boris from Goldeneye.
http://www.goldeneye.com/julian/boris.html - jobobshishkabob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3ok... things on this site dont have to necessarly be "tech" news... come to think of it i remember that there was a pen-flipping story on Diggnation...
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I remember the guy in Goldeneye. He got like frozen in carbonite or something., I remember him playing with the pen which might blow up since it was a bomb if you clicked it 3 times.
- drocra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I've always heard this called the "Debate Pen Flip", due to the excessive number of people in high school debate who spend all their time learning it.
- linuxps2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I learned how to do it while debating (all debaters should know how to do it) but that is the easiest thing to do... try this kinda stuff and then you can really bug your friends... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9073643774825285245&q=pen (plus) tricks&pl=true
There should be a "plus" between pen and tricks but it wont show when i paste it - TheCheeks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3i do it all the time at school, learned last year. VERY fun to do once you learn how, passes the time.
- jgee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yes father,....yeah everyone on the debate scene uses this flip, passes the time while ur opponent is speaking...
- jessecrouch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2my tip for everyone learning this:
for many pen tricks, including this one, it is often easiest to start with as big a pencil or straight stick you can find. - MioTheGreat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I simply can't get my thumb to stay still while doing this, and it keeps screwing it up. Ugh.
- magik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ditto. ouch. i'm stopping.
- Bluezdood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Easily the most frustrating thing I've encountered... ever.
- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't move your thumb at all, it rotates AROUND it.
- linuxps2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i come with more goodies of people who have taken this idea and wasted (read invested) alot of thier time in it
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4236909970693038984&pl=true - chokeyou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like it. Dugg.
- chokeyou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't get it. Are you saying you can do this with your penis?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha it got buried.
- rhizome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ah, this always pops up in the middle of the school year. getting bored, kids?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Great! I won't add death to my calendar!
- Minishark, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2A friend taught me how to do this in 10th grade Biology class, and I've been addicted ever since. I wish I could stop.
- LoneStar, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I could do this since i was like 4, still do it while i am at school (writing exams)
- jayyoung, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1this is junk, i cant get it
- dimatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"Some fanatics even take to customizing pens to get them just right. "
Honestly... fanatics? - camel22437, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1This is a weird story I guess I can die happy now!!
- MannaPC, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Yah know... I'm getting pretty tired of these lame "WikiHow" articles. I find WikiHow to be useless as most of the stuff it explains is not in detailed enough, has no pictures or has some lame suggestions.
I have found a few good things on there. Nothing worth while though :P. But as for the pencil, I guess I will die dumb . - titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I can so totally die before mastering this, don't you know dying of boredom is true, espcially in geometry.
- GeneralSun, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1LOL nice headline. Dugg!
- SuperBeast, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3gtfo
- PunchMeIBleed, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2;.; i cant do it!!!
- patjamas, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4Agreed, so much dumb ***** shows up on here....
- Aurarch, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0I figured out how to do this on my own
no digg.
(yes I want a cookie) - beelz, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2yes.... NO.!....
- MrsApril, on 10/12/2007, -15/+1i've done it in school all the timmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
- gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -25/+4I agree with DenZ88, this isn't tech news. Reported as lame.
- DenZ88, on 10/12/2007, -45/+9This is tech news?
Is this even news?
