Traditionally, the nerdiest pen has been the Space Pen–NASA’s famed writes-upside-down-underwater-and-in-zero-G-because-you-know-I-spend-a-lot-of-time-there entry. Not only did it do all that stuff, it had a NASA logo on it. (”Do you know what the Russians used?” asks the joke. “A pencil, which for its advantages in cost and simplicity is no substitute for Neil Armstrong and McDonalds, so hush, you.”)
Well,ACME studios has finally built a nerdier mousetrap. The 4FP Stanley is slim, has a ball-point pen, pencil, highlighter and PDA stylus, and has a ruler printed on it. (”How do you mark your measurements?” you might ask. You find a Russian and borrow his pencil, obviously.) It costs $40, but that’s really only $8/function. Plus, carrying this bad boy in your pocket lets the world know that you mean business. Very nerdy business.
