Ok. So anyone who's ever sat in a class with a significant number of Asians might have noticed this insane ability that many kids have to twirl a pen around in their hand.

I noticed a few in my math class back in University, and when I came to China to teach, I noticed that some students had highly-developed master-jedi-ninja pen skills. It's just nuts what some kids can pull off. I've just recently mastered a half-twirl, and I'm pretty proud of that... But that's nothing compared to what these guys can do (see video):




Well, this video is done - I assume - by a bunch of Korean kids. I had a short discussion on this topic with a Korean friend of mine, and he says that in Korea, they even offer classes in pen twirling. Sign my ass up! Studying Chinese is getting a bit stale this late in the semester. I've spent most of my time tweaking this. Still in need of a logo though...

Anyway, give it a try if you have some spare time on your hands. My friend told me there are pen-twirling video tutorials on the net, so maybe you can find some!
