No, not like Bridget Powers or Piper Perri. What are these things and why to they lurk in every banner ad on the web, and why do I get bombarded with spam email about them?

pre 500BC?So what came before the yoyo?
I saw an interview with the inventor of the torque bar ($100) and he was pissed because you can get one for $1.89 like I did.It may not sound like it, but these fidget toys -- the Cube included -- could very well improve your day-to-day by giving you an innocuous outlet for your nervous or bored energy, and our testers unanimously found this to be true.
Sounds perfect:
The kid across the street showed me his and it was running ABEC 7 bearings and it was a cheap plastic one. I would hope the Torque Bar that is $100 ran at least those. If you can spin that bastard long enough to wear out ABEC 7 bearings, then you need some serious help.Sounds perfect:
Counterintuitively, the spinners' potential to get gritty, their high price tag, and how easy it is to notice when they're spinning even slightly below par, can create a kind of anxiety in the type of user that needs things to run perfectly. This is exactly the opposite of what the spinners are designed to do.
Fixed that for you.<snip> If you are using one of these inane things, then you need some serious help.
I miss the good old days of having to sit still or get a beating.
