Forget console wars.

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.

Pen Genie

So similar.

Coincidence?

Why've I got a strange feeling Pen Genie is going to pop up in conversation from time to time...

I think a candidate for the best e-mail ever sent and one of the most useless products ever made.

Here's what I dont get about this product:

ANYONE that needs one or think it's a good idea won't know how to write anyway, so what's the point?

Ah, I bet they package/bundle sell this with Microsoft Train Simulator so you can note down the control button marked "forward"

I just sent them the following email:

I have just had the pleasure of viewing your website. What a fantastic product! Congratulations! It's innovations like this that make the world a better place.

I have just one question that I was hoping you could answer.

Would you be able to fit a crayon in the slot for a pen, or will a 'crayon-genie' become available? I only ask as myself and fellow in-mates aren't allowed to use sharp objects like pencils and pens.

Please let me know.

Thank You.

I think we have a customer...

;-p

I can imagine such a product.

Pen Genie is not it.

Can you imagine any company exec in their right mind offering these things to clients? You could make one out of a rubber band and a staple, for cryin' out loud!

What I find really alarming is that this is actually a UK company. These things usually come from the US.

Simply rotate the pen-genie 180 degrees, and it will fit comfortably onto the other hand. Why not order a pack of 100!

My God, they sell them in 100's. The whole variety of colours in a box thing. I wonder if they can do a version that will hold crayons?

No but you would turn it around, so that the pen holder is on the thumb side.
