@UrLogicFails Mine go on a corkboard that I hang on the wall. It makes for nice decoration, and I get to admire them whenever I walk past!
A subset of my pins end up on my lanyard when I go to meets/conventions. I have favorites, but I usually rotate between some depending on my mood and what I got recently.

The main principle at work here is the enthalpy of vaporization. When matter changes state, there is an associated amount of energy that is absorbed or released - in the case of vaporization, energy must be absorbed. So when sweat forms on your skin and evaporates, it absorbs heat energy from your body in order to undergo that state change.
For water, the energy involved here is remarkably high, much higher than the energy stored by a few degrees difference in temperature. For example, if you wanted to boil off 1kg of water, it would take about 300 kJ to bring the temperature up to boiling from room temperature and over 2000 kJ to boil it all into steam.
