Way cool. Although this is still the way I'd like to be disposed of.

Bling > Pencil
It should be easy to talk to the dead person who now a pencil.
You can just ask a question and the pencil will write down the answer. ;D
The only problem I can see is sharpening the pencil. How and where would you do that?
One other thing.
Would the dead pencils come earsers?l ???
The sad thing is that people are actually led to believe that it is truly a part of their loved one. Morbid.
Yes quite sad. You think you have part of a love one when actually all you have is a number two pencil.
Well it least you can fill job applications. :)
This puts me in mind of one of the fountain pen advertisements in Max's pen collecting catalogs: allegedly, you can get a pen with some of Abraham Lincolns DNA in the cap jewel (that part at the very end of the pen, where the clip fastens). These pens are not tatty, either--nor cheap. Someone went to great trouble to produce a pen that makes you (and I quote) "own a piece of the Great Emancipator." How the hell do you prove Lincoln's DNA is in there?! And, what constitutes 'DNA' to the schlomo that produces the pen? Do I really want to know? Is it just some Lincoln byproduct (like that tele-scam-gelist who sells the kerchiefs that wipe the sweat off his brow)? Gross!
