I’ll admit to being quite the geek. The type that plays D&D, among other games. Thus, rolling dice isn’t something terribly uncommon for me to do. I have a nice bag with a variety of different of polyhedral dice that I take with me when I play such games. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could use other everyday objects to randomly determine a number? Well, with this Pencil Dice, you can.

If you think about it, most standard pencils have six sides. One company thought it would be a great idea to simply put dots on each of these sides, thus giving you a standard six-sided dice. At a price of about $5 each, I’m thinking it would be much cheaper to simply buy a bunch of white-colored pencils and using a marker to place the dots on them.
