09 May 08 The shortest pencil in the world? The things one can find in a seven year old’s pockets …

Well, Ashrita Furman may indeed be the Guinness Record holder for the world’s longest (and largest) pencil at 76 feet and 21,000 pounds…. but I think I found perhaps the shortest and smallest one!

Well, I suppose it’s a result of an indoctrination of not wasting resources…. (and an artistic bent too)…

Pencil found in pocket of a seven year old boy (ok, almost 8)…

Unfortunately there were no identifying markers on the writing instrument, so I can’t tag it with more specific make and model information. I suspect it will go for mid $xx,xxx on eBay in the next few months.
