When NASA first

started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To

combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero

gravity, upside down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to

over 300 C.

The Russians used a pencil. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Enjoy paying your

taxes--they\'re due again.

I\'m actually one

of the sceptics when it comes to beleiving those kinds of emails, and this one is no exception

I simply find them amusing.... especially when they make fun of

the government (not that I\'m anti-American)

But thanks Bruce... I never knew where the \'space pen\' came

from, and this e-rumor actually sounded like it could be true /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
