When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that
the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity. (Ink won't flow down to the

In order to solve this problem, they hired Andersen Consulting

They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down,
under water,

on practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature
range
from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

To tackle the same problem, the Russians used a pencil... *winks*
