Always wondered. Thanks, ven!

Interesting! Now someone tell me what the deal is with #2 pencils. Think that also has to do with the graphite, anyone know?

I believe the # has to do with the hardness of the graphite, Alexander....

I remember reading that somewhere. Found a site all about it here:

If it weren't for pencils math would be very messy. 😀

You wanna know how much I love pencils? (well, do ya?)

I'll watch a movie just to see how many times a pencil is in use during the course of the film.

Yes...another one of my pet freaks. 😉

Cheers.😀

If you watch the x-files, Mulder likes to toss pencils into his office ceiling.
