I have a space pen, it's my favorite pen, it writes to smoothly and also looks nice. I've been using it daily for months now and it has never failed me. It's a bit expensive, compared to other ball point pens, but should I have to go to space on short notice, I at least have a working pen with me, so I'd say it's worth it. Also you can do cross words while laying on your back, that's nice as well.
A former co worker went to jail for burglary when he was 18 and he said that pencil graphite was how they would light a cigarette or a joint in prison. They would take the graphite out of the pencil then wrap it once in toilet paper. They used something to hold it (can’t remember what), then used the wires from the light bulb socket in the cell to create a current through the graphite causing it to either get hot or spark and set the paper on fire. Something like that anyways
