Sep 25 2007World's Largest Pencil Video
Why put the roof on a house when you can build the world's largest pencil? That's exactly what these construction workers thought when they made an 18,000 lb., 76 ft. long (functional) writing instrument. It allegedly represents 1,900,000 small pencils and took two weeks to make. It's basically a tree that's been painted yellow. I need to get my hands on that bad boy, because I have a ton of oversized checks that need depositing.

Wouldn't it have saved them a ton of work if they made the worlds largest pencil sharpener as well?

If this isn't a colossal waste of time, I don't know what is.

Joke #1: My wiener is the size of a #342 pencil.
Joke #2: Someone needs to sick a beaver on that pencil and chew the shit out of it so it looks like a real one.
Joke #3: Did anyone else notice that the guy who used it drew like a retarded monkey on jolt?

Its not a pencil until they bore that sucker out and still a lead in it. Lazy bastards just tacked it on the front.

what a ridiculous waste of wood. in 50 years mankind will have exhausted ANOTHER natural resource and i will be placing sole blame on the giant pencil.

... And I quote: "It's basically a tree that's been painted yellow." -- Funny, seeing how it's really not "basically" a tree that's been painted yellow. In fact, if that's so, will you please paint a tree in yellow for me, please? Two weeks is awfully too long to waste time on shaving a pencil that will never 'actually' be used, I must say.
