My uncle sent me this e-mail. I thought it was quite interesting...
Zero Gravity
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. Your taxes are due
again--enjoy paying them.
