Teen named pen-spinning king
Filed under: Teens, Activities: Babies, In The News, Weird But True, Day Care & Education
A sixteen year-old Japanese boy has been crowned the king of pen-spinning. Rkuyi Omura a high school student was named champion of a, uhm pastime, I guess you'd call it.
Pen-spinning occurs when a pen is maneuvered between the hand, little finger, other fingers and palm. I couldn't possibly tell you exactly how it's done. Contestants were required to perform a routine that would last for at least 30 seconds where they were critiqued for both style and skill.
Rkuyi Omura was chosen from among sixteen finalists in the contest organized by the Pen Spinning Association of Japan.
I've heard of Rock, Paper, Scissors contests (really, I have) but this is totally new to me. Apparently it was new to the likes of the Japanese as well, as this was the first of such contests held. Sentiment has it to take the contest internationally.
