Spirals: The Future Of Pen Technology
Kidding, I'm pretty sure the future of pen technology is writing with lasers. Could you imagine signing your name with a laser-pen? I can, and not just because I've practiced with my penis in the snow, but I have and I can do it in block letters AND cursive. So yeah, spiraling the ink chamber in ballpoint pens to fit twice the ink. It's magic. Just not the kind you want to see at a friend's birthday party. YOU SUCK MR. MAGICIAN -- CUT A MILF IN HALF ALREADY!
The concept design makes much the refill's reduced environmental impact, claiming that you'll create less plastic waste as you'll be tossing away fewer pens. But what about the refill itself? The normal, skinny refills can be packed close together into shipping boxes, whereas the spiral will take up a lot more space. Still, it's worth it, if only because most people throw away pens when they're empty.
Damn, why didn't I think of that. Oh right, I DID. *suing* I thought pens were biodegradable anyways. I've been planting them like they are. I jest, I know they're not actually biodegradable. They are degradable though. AREN'T YOU, YOU STUPID PEN?! I SWEAR, YOU ARE SO DUMB! *holding in urine stream*

I was going to try sneaking 'penis' into the title instead of pens but I assume you've been to enough bachelorette parties to know candy peens already exist (you dirty, dirty girls, you!). This is a pen made out of the same candies as those necklaces so you can eat it when you... / Continue →

Well folks, it's finally happened: mechanical pencils and markers are breeding. What's next, paperclip/staple orgies? NOT IN MY DESK DRAWER! Haha, like I have a desk! Sharpie has combined the permanence of a pen with the erasability of a pencil with their new Liquid Pencil.... / Continue →

This is a pen that looks like a penis. It's supposed to be particularly ergonomic or something, but I don't buy it. What I do buy are pens that don't look like wieners. This BioErgonomic pen is shaped to better fit in the hands. The squatter base helps it rests between the f... / Continue →
