After spending a week in NY, I feel it's time for a little "Americans are different than Canadians (and Russians apparently) because...." and since i've spent inordinate amounts of time in many places in both places...Something Americans (Sorry GOB) will find "interesting" and the rest of us...funny as fuck...
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity.
To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300° C.
The Russians used a pencil.
Enjoy paying your taxes.
