The History of the Mighty but Famous Pen

Lewis Waterman invented the ballpoint pen and Lazlo Biro invented another type of pen.
Well the ink actually stays inside the pen and you don’t have to dip in the ink pot.

There is now different kinds of pens all over the world. Also now you can use different kinds of colours as in ink colours. As you can see pens can run out of ink in a period of 7 to 10 years and it can be replaceible, but that would `just be a big waste of time, so you can just go buy another pen worth one dollar and it will last as I say 7 to 10 years! That is one of the WOW factors of pens.
The other WOW factor is that today some people still use quills and ink pots. As years passed the pen improved for instance, the style has changed the ink has changed, the appearance has changed and also the size.
The first people to use a type of pen, were Ancient Indians. They used feathers and bamboo sticks and so on.
The pen has improved quite a lot since then. Also the first pen was invented in Seville, Spain.

Knight vs Warriors


Determined tackling - at one point midway through the second half the Warriors defended their line for 22 consecutive plays - and some smart team management by coach Ivan Cleary were the hallmarks of the Ausgrid Stadium win, the side coming from 16-12 down with seven minutes remaining to snatch the game.The Warriors had a sluggish start to the season, but have struck back with six wins from their past seven matches.In recent weeks the notoriously inconsistent Kiwi side have toppled Melbourne at their AAMI Park graveyard, the Gold Coast on the sunshine strip and now the Knights in Newcastle.Cleary had the Warriors set up camp in Australia since arriving early for last week's win over the Titans, and the more settled approach, courtesy of reduced travel, appeared to pay off on a glorious Sunday afternoon in Newcastle."It was a pretty tough schedule so we decided to stay and just take a couple of flights out," Cleary said."Having said that it was still a pretty big week for us - four guys backing up for two games last weekend as well (the New Zealand Test and Titans match). To get out of that with a win is very satisfying."Cleary was ecstatic with the way his side fought back from their poor start thanks to the energy they created without the ball."The best part, apart from the win, was that we didn't concede a point in the second half," he said, after his side had trailed 16-12 at the break."Whilst we didn't play great we did enough to hang in there and win."An exciting final seven minutes saw the Warriors cross twice through five-eighth James Maloney and fullback Lance Hohaia (his second for the day), before star of the show Maloney calmly potted a field goal.After leading for the majority of the match, 18,158 fans trudged out of the stadium in despair.The game was there for the Knights to win and they'll lament their inability to breach the visitors' line despite numerous chances in the final 40 minutes."With 15 minutes to go the game was in the balance," a dejected Knights coach Rick Stone said."I think a few concentration lapses, that mental toughness, we let ourselves done in that respect."There wasn't much difference in who had the most football on the day, it was pretty even, we let ourselves down in that last little bit."Stone would not be drawn on the future of injured hooker Isaac De Gois, who had agreed to a new deal earlier in the year that has since been put on the back burner.De Gois has now been linked with a return to former club, Cronulla next season.
