How Tall can Pencils Grow in Green Pune, NASA'a Innovative Zero Gravity Pen
Artist: Tom Cheney The New Yorker 30 June 2008 caption contest # 151
Proposed captions:
1. "“…So you are saying I may go to jail if we don’t take permission from Pune Municipal Corporation before sharpening them because they technically are now trees.”
2. “I just wanted to create a living monument for our innovative spirit and extend it. Remember, NASA’s extravagance and its tendency to look for complex solutions when they developed a pen that would write in zero gravity while we Russians made do with pencils.”
