It's not Bambi's fault... he suffered a severe childhood trauma...

In fairness, the whole thing is heartbreaking.

@ New Home - I uploaded this to img.bb and reuploaded it cropped on the phone. Its not uncropped. Its how it shows on Img.bb - theres always going to be issues with black lines on some pics. Its shows fine embedded. only when clicking the link does the black lines show up. But thats from that site.

I'll reply better when I'm on the laptop, but I've re-embedded it, I'm not sure why this time it has no black bars, but happy days.

If you're sitting on the wall, then you can simply reach down to it.

Now I have to sit? Or would you have me kneel to this Portobello supremacist organisation?

And as for 'reaching', the very act of having to over extend. Is there no end to their plot for us to belittle ourselves!

Awaits the Portobello Public Bondage Project. NOT ON MY WATCH!

But, if you ever found yourself in the frigid vastness of space would it work though?! Hmmm. HMMMMM!

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-nasa-spen/

During the height of the space race in the 1960s, legend has it, NASA scientists realized that pens could not function in space. They needed to figure out another way for the astronauts to write things down. So they spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars to develop a pen that could put ink to paper without gravity. But their crafty Soviet counterparts, so the story goes, simply handed their cosmonauts pencils.

Yeah, the article actually tells the story behind it.
I only quoted the first couple of lines.

further down

Paul C. Fisher and his company, the Fisher Pen Company, reportedly invested $1 million to create what is now commonly known as the space pen. None of this investment money came from NASA's coffers--the agency only became involved after the pen was dreamed into existence.

Pencils were considered a risk in space, you don't have the Portobello Public Pencil Project mention that though. The fiends!

Was just thinking - surely this should have been called the...

The Russians used grease pencils on plastic slates.

And bought the American pens the first chance they got.

US Marines still use crayons.
