Importance of a Pencil?

There's a code on the pencil telling you how dark/light it is. Its not too bad using pencil. In certain exams, eg our Maths competition, we need a 2B pencil to write our answer with.

Doing work with pencil isnt as bad as it sounds to be.

2B is the pencil you need for the Scantron tests. It isn't that bad but I don't like my papers degrading over time.

Um, NASA didn't have such pens back then, so they invented one.

At any rate though, I have no idea if they are the space pens or not, because I would only care if I were to actually go out into space.

I think they're supposed to work underwater as well, but IDK how you'd be using it on a paper underwater...

LOL Okay I didn't mean it in that way. I always thought errogenous meant sensitive in general, not in context of sexual stimuli.
Looks like I was wrong. Man is my english teacher using it wrong.

Me neither. Although one time I was browsing in the market and I found these Milk Scented leads... the paper smelled so good after writing on it XD.

O_o
Someone's getting horny...

My mechanical pencils smell like love and wood polish. Using them is always a very erogenous experience, so to speak.

LoL... how did my pencil thread get turned into a sex thread?

Btw: Only pen I use is http://p.pens1000.com/vp1/31002PIL.jpg

Ooo. That's the one my sister uses. I don't like that one though cuz it takes a few seconds to dry. Here's the one I use:

When you use your beautiful pencil, do you sniff it, stroke it and make sweet love to it?

Eh... why would I do that. It doesn't even resemble anything from Pen lsland...

You don't write gigantic equations without drafts ;X

Exactly.
I hate pencils, they smear, they make the paper look bad/horrible. They make any test look unprofessional. If you write wrong, use this.[/QUOTE]
White out kinda sucks. =/

wat b dis:

There exists a common urban legend claiming that because a standard ballpoint pen would not work in zero gravity, NASA spent $11 million developing the zero-g capable Space Pen, with the humorous note that the Russians used a pencil. In fact, NASA programs have used pencils (for example a 1965 order of mechanical pencils) but because of the danger that a broken-off pencil tip poses in zero gravity and the flammable nature of the wood present in pencils a better solution was needed.

NASA never approached Paul Fisher to develop a pen, nor did Fisher receive any government funding for the pen's development. Fisher invented it independently, and then asked NASA to try it. After the introduction of the AG7 Space Pen, both the American and Soviet (later Russian) space agencies adopted it. Previously both the Russian and American astronauts used grease pencils and plastic slates.

VERY nice find.
