Actually, stupid threads like this can gain momentum and turn into epic threads after a page or so. It's happened several times before.

Pens, and I'll tell you why.  I write so that the writing utensil is perpendicular to the paper.  This works wonderfully with pens, because most pens are sometimes spotty when it comes to writing on the side of the tip.  But pencils are very fragile if you write like this, so I generally don't use pencils.  If I do, then I'll go with mechanical pencils.
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

PENCILS!

1. Allow for more subtle writing
2. More precise (if sharp enough)
3. The grey colour is so grim and dark and methul and... wait nvm
4. They're pencils. That means fucking awesome by definition.

I think this settles it.

Pens are better because their writing looks cooler, fancier, and also darker, and without pens you wouldn't have been able to make that "pen island" joke in middle school. Real men are able to admit their mistakes and showcase them instead of just erasing history and pretending it never happened (in other words, pencils are for Stalinists and people who support them). Pencil-dicks are the best of both worlds but I think you have to get stabbed by a radioactive pencil first to get one or something so it's out of the question for most people, and plus people might stare at you weird if you just unzip your pants in the middle of class and start splooging ink all over your paper with your Papermate PencilPenis 3000 (plus how would you even sharpen a pencil-dick?).

Pencils are way better because it is so much smoother to handwrite cursive with a pencil. But I love to use pens when doing math, it subconsciously tells me not to fuck up.

Yeah, it's weird, I use pens almost all the time when doing math (tutoring or otherwise). I think it's because I am at a point that any math I do, I've done it before and mistakes are a lot less likely to happen on my part.

Maybe, but as of now it takes me a good two-week layoff to get the protein concentration high enough that I can swing from building to building. The pencil-dick technique will save me oodles of time.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
