I know this is completely off topic but Ive been looking into penturning and saw this, I couldnt help sharing it.

Ya its a pen made from cast epoxy and fruitloops :D. Very similar to JSR's pistons.

It's not our jack.

However, I will say that penturning is a respectable and enjoyable hobby.

He should make an edible pen!

"Teacher I can't do my exam"
"Why not Bobby?"
"Cause I got hungry"
"So hungry you can't do the exam?"
"No, so hungry i ate my pen"
"..."


Or something alone those lines...

Wow that guy lives in my area maybe I should get him to make me a pen.

@john bunsenburner If you want an edible pen, you could take some flour and mix it with water and some sort of flavoring then "cast it"(lol) into a metal pipe.
Yeah, it's that important.
