In the space race with Russia, there came a time when the US realized that normal pens would not work in weightlessness.
So, they spent $$$ on R&D and came up with an answer.
Million$ of tax dollar$ later, the Space Pen was used by Astronauts. Now, the general public can buy them.
The Russians came up with a simpler solution.
They used a pencil.

Nice try Steve, Thats one of my favorite urban legend's. In actuality both the russians and americans used lead pencils. Americans used them during the mecury flights and I think right up to the tragic launch pad fire. Concern was the breaking of the pencils and lead floating around. As well the fire hazzard of wood in pure oxygen - this is what prompted the 0 G pen - a safety issue - not a stupidity issue. This story is readily available on urban legend sites.
Hey, I'm bored. I'm waiting on the turkey to cook. What can I say?
