I think a great costume pair would be to go as a pencil and a hand with a big black hole in it from where that asshole Frank rammed the pencil into the hand in 6th grade.

/what?

If the No. 2 pencil is the most used in the world why is it still #2?

testing before these things hit the shelves might make sense. we don't like logic.

Well who didn't already know that? Everything's made in China now and China infuses everything with lead. What's next, do we have to tell everyone that the beef lo mien is made from Garfield?

Sigh. The "lead" in a pencil is not lead, it's a mixture of graphite and clay.

I'll go with Steven Wright or Mitch Hedberg.

What about lead sinkers for fishing?

Boo! More economy-stifling regulations! I played with lead toys as a kid and I'm perfectly fine. A little lead every day makes kids stronger! And so what if a kid or two dies from "lead poisoning", as the LIEbrul ivy tower elitists call it? Survival of the fittest! If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

It certainly is. A nice pleasantly sweet flavor when added to water.

While that's correct, some pencils manufactured in China have paint containing lead. Some people chew on pencils, especially children.

The guys who invented pencils weren't. They really did think the substance was lead, at first.

'How about a magic trick? '
[pulls out a pencil and sticks it upright into the table]
"I'm gonna make this pencil disappear. '
THUD
'Ta-daa! It's... it's gone.'

One of the greatest shock / surprise scenes in film IMO

How many recalls are they going to have for this kind of shiat before they stop importing crap from China? It's pretty damn hard to find anything not made in China these days.

EXCESSIVE levels of lead have been found in face paint being sold in the lead up to Halloween, the consumer watchdog says.
