“They fight with felt tips, and do battle with ball points.” The tournament began in 2007 as an online competition between pen spinning whizzes who recorded videos of themselves displaying their biro acrobatics to send to the competition organizers. The Pen Spinning World Tournament now has contestants from 10 countries competing in realtime. Tons more info after the jump.

Can’t get enough of Overheard In New York? Listening in on the random musings of strangers is even more fun when they’re layed over the top of a Google map you can scroll around on and zoom in and out of. Better late than never.

The game doesn’t appear until the hot liquid goes in the mug. So far so good, but it’s the not-quiet-in-violation-of-trademark names that makes me smile. Good times.

Just like the classic bar game, only with prettier graphics (less bikinis, true, but it also looks like stuff was shot this decade). Fun. Click the pic to get the game, then click around and see how you do.

It’s not much to look at really, this “sculpture.” Here’s the thing though, attach “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” as it is know, to the Internet and it auctions itself on eBay. When it sells, the current owner is required to box it up and ship it off to it’s new, self-found home, where the cycle repeats. The last round saw the thing raise some $6800 for it’s creator. Amazing right? All questions are answered in the FAQ (have a look while it lasts).

“Folding + Photos = Origami Photo Twister.” Sounds like good times, right? Drop what you’re doing, upload four photos into the site, printing and fold per their instructions and boom you’ve made an endless loop of photo fun.

Toffee and liver pate? Almonds and apple sauce? Pickles and pancakes? Taste ‘em or toss ‘em, every time you load the page it gives you two more random combinations to ponder and vote on.

Any way you cut it, this single serving site serves up at least a few minutes of fun. Yum.

The next time someone picks you up in their car - say a friend or family member - climb in the back, right-hand seat, leaving the front passenger seat empty. With a straight face, tell 'em where to. It's a little game I call "Chauffeur." Fun.
Write the letters "B" and "R" on a one-dollar bill. Tuck your boner anywhere you please. Pull it out when least expected for maximum effect.
For this one, you need to be in the back of a car.
And you can't be the only one there.
first, let your body go limp (it helps to imagine you've actually got no bones).
Next, undo you're seatbelt.
Now play Jello.
The fun starts midway through the first turn one.
On a hot day, few things beat "stinky ice cream":
While eating with a friend, ask if their's smells funny too.

Not too hard, just enough to powder their nose.
