Pen Spinner, spins for a very, very, very long time!!!!

Inspired by a recent popular design, I decided to create a top that really spins, and spins and spins. Just for fun :) You won't be disappointed. I realized a plastic tip was not going to be a suitable material for the spinning contact so I searched for a common household item that has a precision axle of rotation and a hard, small tip that wasn't sharp. A common household pen works great! With a little practice you will get this thing spinning fast for a very long time, more than you would expect from a little toy. It's more like a gyroscope without a frame. Note: You can freeze the ball with a little CA glue if you think ink marks will be a problem, however this is not necessary on a glass surface. Enjoy!
