This is spectacular, but it never would have occurred to me that this was even possible.

Now I have to clean off the dining table and drag out the Big Jar of Pennies...

That's neat, but why would anyone have that many pennies on hand?

To build domes with.

Seriously, there was something on the page about bored nightshift cashiers keeping themselves from going entirely mad. Also, it doesn't take that many pennies for a proof of principle. After that you can go to the bank and get yourself enough pennies for $20 to keep yourself entertained for days. Netflix, beware!

I want to see the penny guy and the cardstacker guy collaborate.

When I was around ten, I learned that you could stack pennies on your elbow and then grab them with your (same) hand. I showed my friend, and it turned into a race to see who could stack the pennies and catch them without covering the floor in pennies. Sadly, I can no longer remember what ungodly number we got up to. Eighty-one pennies is the number that keeps knocking on my cerebrum -- and I can't remember if that was Scott or if it was me, but we were both the undisputed champs for our time and place.

Of course, back then, a penny was the size of a manhole cover. But you tell these kids that...
