NASA vs Russia


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.


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