Forget technological advances.
Forget the arms race.
Forget the space race.
The search for the ultimate new technology is over. The race has been won. There now exists one single invention that will solve every problem you have ever had.
Ladies and gentlemen... I give you...
The Pen Genie.

No, that's what you call a blinding invention!
That would be fun, its hard enought using your hands with chopsticks!
I look like I'm swimming through jelly when I play.
Managed to split my hand open once, blood drenched snare, and usually smash myself in the face once or twice.
All good rock'n roll fun
If you put two drum sticks, the wooden types, in each Pen Genie, one on each hand, you could play the drums without having to hold the sticks, and REALLY look like a retard, waving your arms around.
Come on, how many of you are pretending to do a drumbeat with Pen Genies now?
Surely it's a lot of hassle to take it off every time you have to use the toilet, or shake hand with someone, or not want to look like a gimp...
It's for the best really.

And I got the following reply:
Hi Ben
Yes a Crayola standard sized crayon fits perfectly and indeed we already
have them on trial in some schools. We're struggling a bit with the
Spray-paint Genie at present but watch this space.
I saw Ronnie Barker with a pen in Porridge!

Besides, at least now they can get rid of those big rods sticking out from their foreheads that they use now
