Teachers will LOVE the PenPOW from Animi Causa because it teaches physics and how stored elastic energy can shoot a projectile at high speed. Ok, they might not really like the PenPOW when the kids in their class start shooting spitwads at each other.
The PenPOW is a springy metal clip that fits on a No. 2 pencil to provide a fun launcher for paper wads.
It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye, so just don’t aim anything at your friend’s face!
The PenPOW is priced at $10.99. Go read more about it now at www.animicausa.com.

even though the old pencil/pen clips weren’t as skillfully weaponized, they were still good enough for a detention or two
I have been hoping for a titanium tubed bic/biro so that a tacticool spitball shooter would make its way into children’s lives
Want a laser pointer with that?
my kids did that already
taped a pointer to the pen tube
sighted at fifteen feet and used push pins that matched the bore of the pen they used
with the laser hanging below the bore it balanced fairly well
a surprising number of projectiles hit pin first as well
just shows that there isn’t much new, is there?
