Just got an email from a good buddy...

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 temperatures ranging from 

below freezing to over 300 degrees Centigrade.



The Russians used a pencil.



Enjoy paying your taxes--they're due again.
