Hehehe! Might as well though, for the good they do. Ah, but where would
we
be without pens wot write upside-down?

Back with pencils ;-)

Yes. Did you see that programme where they got some high up bods in the
Soviet and US space programmes together? The American was boasting about
how
they'd spent millions getting an upside down anti-gravity pen working.
When
asking the Soviets how they solved that problem, they replied that they
used
pencils!

But have you ever tried sharpening a pencil in zero gravity?
