went on the server this morning and right outside the house gate i found a ender pearl. no idea what to do with it but it was shiny so i thought 'that looks good'
Notch revealed this morning that you'll be able to throw them like eggs but you'll teleport to wherever they land. You'll take 5 damage from using it, so you'll have to use it tactically.
The best use I can see for this is when you come to the edge of a cliff and want to get down in a hurry--perhaps while being chased by monsters. Toss one over the edge and wait for it to hit the ground!
I saw a joke image the other day showing how to craft Ender pearls into anal beads.
