Save $200 in 2 minutes and have the worlds best writing pen

If the Mont Blanc refill isn't writing smoothely, do NOT shake it while indoors wearing nice clothing. My floor, desk, and shirt are all covered in the world's finest ink.

I'm going to be trying this - the pen refill, not the shaking.

The BBC had an article about the Fitzwilliam Museum visitor who tripped down the stairs and broke three ancient Chinese Vases. They asked for your best f up in the comments.

One man wrote in to say when he was about 7, he twisted his father's pen in a rubber band, then pulled both ends of the elastic, to make the pen spin.

Innocent fun with a straw, but the pen spit ink all over the boy, his father's library, books, desk, chairs, papers, floor,...

(Funny comment stream!)

At least it's not some cheap crummy ink...

Your stained in style.

And be sure to answer anyone that asks if you spilled ink on yourself,
'That's not ink, that's the finest writing medium in the world'.

exactly...

Was really impressed with this hack - no so much as a way to get a really good pen, but rather as a cheap way to see if the $200 Mont Blanc was really worth it. My opinion: the G2 writes pretty nicely. In a blind writing test where I don't know which pen I'm using, my ability to identify the Mont Blanc was only slightly better than 50%.

Perhaps I need to try on more expensive paper :-)

LOL!!! i love this instructable!!!

do you really eat heaps of ink? i mean, it may not be toxic, but wouldn't it kind of coat your insides? i guess that's one way to lose weight. or to look completely goth. a totally black mouth, tongue and teeth. "yes, my heart is black as well... fear me, meatsack. the darkness inside this shell is nothing next to the infinite darkness awaiting you. run for the sake of your immortal soul."

...i like candy

Ahahaha. Goth. Goth and Emo suck. I hate emos. They do it to look cool -.-
Freaking modern people. There was no goth and emo 10 years before.
I dont eat ink like, everyday. Maybe a few times a month when one of my friends gets a new pen or something.
And it doesnt coat my insides... it comes out in my poo =DD

Bloo Poo?

we all do things to look cool. everything you wear, you have to consider what everyone else will think. and do you think emos and goths expect everyone to think they look cool like that? no, they don't. the fact that you say they do it to look cool, obviously means you think it looks cool. ...you're just afraid to dress like that because you know everyone will think you're not cool. see how that works? so they really are cool for expressing themselves openly.

...cheese is also cool

No, you can notice it in some people. You can notice that they TRY to. (I missed the word out there)

Wow ive gotten 26 replies from this.

ahhhh!!!another person like me....one question though...do u lick windows too?

Hmm..
On a school excursion trip to a Zoo there was an ape licking the glass when it saw us.
Tell me, Are you an Ape?

technically yes.....but i like the shortbus windows best!!!they taste better.....

isn't it hard to lick the windows with your helmet on?

yes, it can get complicated, but i like a challenge!

hmmmmmmmmmm.................???

You are a very odd person, my friend. But whatever floats your inventive boat. I can dig flavored gel pens.

dude you are weird! hahahahahahahahaha but definitely original

I've accidentally drank it, totally tasteless, I was more worried because my mouth was completely blue and it took ages to wash the ink out by the way they say it's not toxic under the assumption that you don't deliberately drink tons of the ink!

What typ eof pen was it?

It was one of those Gel ink pens that near the top is transparent and it sort of has a heatsink looking thingy to hold the ink in. It burst when I had the tip in my mouth :)

It burst when I had the tip in my mouth :)

Oh gosh, double entendre.

Ok someone just had to point that out...

you're so naughty

Unintentional lol

Whos actually eaten pen ink here and enjoyed the taste instead of spitting it out?
I licked my friends glue once, it tasted kinda weird. dont eat it, its pretty gross.

your mother must be proud

woah...
