Weather_reporting_tool.jpg from laacz.lv. The Party. At some point during my childhood, my mother made the mistake of taking me to see an orthodontist. It was discovered that I had a rogue tooth that was growing sideways. My mom and I were told that the tooth, if left unchecked, would completely ruin everything in my life and turn me into a horrible, horrible mutant. Unless I wanted to spend the rest of my natural life chained in a windowless shed to avoid traumatizing the other citizens, I was going to need surgery to remove the tooth. I was accepting of the idea until I found out that my surgery was scheduled on the same day as my friend's birthday party.

My surgery was in the morning and the birthday party wasn't until the late afternoon, but my mom told me that I still probably wouldn't be able to go because I'd need time to recover from my surgery. I asked her if I could go to the party if I was feeling okay. She said yes, but told me that I probably wouldn't be feeling well and to try not to get my hopes up.

The tip of the Inkless Metal Beta Pen is a solid piece of metal. As you write, tiny amounts of the patented alloy mark the page. There's no ink - only metal. Crazy? Like a fox.

The metal tip of the Inkless Metal Pen makes permanent markings on most any writing surface. The Inkless Metal Pen is an awesome (non-radioactive) hybrid of pens and pencils. The metal tip of the Inkless Metal Pen will last a lifetime because only tiny amounts of the alloy are actually transferred to the page when you write. The solid metal tip ensures that the Inkless Metal Beta Pen is always ready to write. Ink is a liquid and is therefore susceptible to leaking, smudging, and drying out. It also doesn't need a cap (which we all lose anyway). Like our Space Pen and .375 Bullet Pen, the Inkless Metal Pen can write upside down (unlike normal pens whose ink flows away from the tip when held at extreme angles).

Due to its solid metal tip, the Inkless Metal Pen can work in conditions where a normal pen would seize up. Medieval Weapons Pushpins: Set of 10 replica weapon pushpins.
