    I'm not sure if this hasn't been up, but what the hey, its a good one smile.gif

    During the years of the space race, a problem occurred for both the russians and the americans. The problem was that conventional pens would not function in zero gravity.

    The Americans invested over 1 million dollars, developing a pen which due to much painstaking research, with the aid of modern fluid knowledge and the development of special inks. The Americans praised themselves on their can-do and ingeneuity.

    When the Russians came to the same problem, they used a pencil.
