First!
Now be honest, how many of you went out to find a pencil so you could do it? I know I did!
this graph is lame. who ever made it should jump into a pool of stupid people and join the statistics of stupid people.
Don’t forget throwing it up so it will stick in the ceiling tiles
That’s good for about 40% right there.
The red on this graph should be relabeled to “proportion of kids in America who think being a dumbass is cool”.
Well, hats off to our great country. Afterall, we invented the coffee cup with the “contents are hot” warning on it. Go team!
WIN! but there is no “content is hot” sticker on lightbulbs. Morons will burn themselves.
third and this graph is VERY wrong.
I spent most of the time playing pencil wars with myself, but then again, I was a strange kid back in primary school…
You must explain this. It sounds fun.
YES! I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers pencil fighting, and am surprised that it’s not on this graph.
That and throwing it at the ceiling panels to make it stick.
And smelling those special “scented” ones.
And maybe chewing on the thing either as a means of easing anxiety or getting a new point on it without needing a sharpener.
…I hope I’m not the only one on that last account.
hell no! do you know how valuable pencils were in my school, if you lost yours, you were screwed!
I learnt to penspin.
A lot of my classmates used them as projectiles. Our ceilings looked like porcupines before I graduated.
Ha! Shows what you know! I learned to make my pencil look like rubber from Reading Rainbow..which I watched at home!
Pardon my total ignorance, but… how do you make a pencil look like rubber?
I must’ve slept through “Making Your Pencil Look Like Rubber 101″.
Hold it horizontally lightly between your thumb and forefinger about half an inch from the end. Shake your hand up and down rapidly. If you do it fast enough it looks like it is bending. Doing it in front of a CRT at 60+ hz helps
Could not reproduce. I think it still looks like a pencil.
Crap graph
In the real word people write with pens. Pencils are for drawing.
Just thought you might have missed it.
Do people even write anymore? Like, on paper?
I haven’t actually bought a writing utensil in years. When I have to write something instead of type it, I usually just use whatever I can find. Most of the time, it’s my niece’s crayons.
When I worked for the census bureau, some forms had to be filled out in pencil, others in pen. Rupert Murdoch thinks that paper will be completely replaced in 20 years.
I gave up taking notes with my laptop and went back to taking notes with pen/pencil and paper – doggone laptop makes it too easy to drift off into internet la-la land.
You probably made this comment from a laptop while in class too.
So true. You can tell what I think of a lecture if by the type of utensil I take out of my bag. If it’s a pencil, it means I get bored easily and am aiming to draw more elaborate/impractical weapons during the course of the lecture. If I take out a pen, it’s implying I might actually take notes.
I’ve never been able to figure out how to make a pencil look like rubber, but the first time I saw a rubbery pencil was, ironically, during a lesson on optical illusions.
This is not ironic.
OH! Is it where someone holds the very tip and wobbles it up and down really fast?
Woohoo Jenn gets it!
Are we still talking about a pencil here?
I learned how to stab my classmates. Well, I sort of did on-the-job training on the subject.
It was… an interesting year. A friend of mine still has the graphite embedded in his arm.
I have a scar on my left bicep from that trick. Except it was from a Bic pen and a girl who was trying to actually hurt me
…Yeah I wasn’t kidding around when I stabbed those kids. It was right around the time I started having anxiety attacks, so I was kinda edgy and easily startled.
You hold it on the eraser end and hold it horizontally then you shake it gently so then when it goes up and down it’ll look like it bends, like rubber.
Oh, yeah. I remember that old gag.
Hm. Considering these comments I think I was the only one who actually drew stuff with pencils all the time
Didn’t know how to make it look like rubber (now I do, lol), didn’t stab people or have pencil wars… I just drew a lot. And wrote little stories on my homework 
Wtf? rubber?
this graph sucks.
Oh, you poor lost, lonely soul! No one ever taught you how to do the rubber pencil? Quick, someone – HELP this unfortunate person who named himself ‘boobies’!
You forgot the ever elusive Pencil Bow/Crossbow attachment made with one seemingly harmless rubber band. That or a silly band, most kids at my school like to use those!
I actually LIKE this graph! I mean, heck with writing, we have computers for that!!! XD
And I can still DO IT, only because I’m in engineering, I now use a MECHANICAL pencil.
Have they banned the red rubber pencil erasers yet? Because they did and always will suck.
White pencil erasers FTW.
Man, I sound stupid.
Its way different with dysgraphia
the internet is made for porn, why the hell are you guys wasting your time here? ist not hard to find- thats what she said
You forgot “stab people”.
Some things that are missing from this graph
- poking/stabbing/attacking people
- chewing
- graffiti-ing your desk
- sharpening it AGAIN — seriously, every time I sharpen a pencil the lead breaks like half a minute later.
And all the white space around this graph stands for balancing them on your nose.
