Smart Russians
No, that's not an oxymoron.
I love this little anecdote I found online.

During the space race back in the 1960s, NASA was faced with a major problem. The astronaut needed a pen that would write in the vacuum of space. NASA went to work. At a cost of $1.5 million they developed the "Astronaut Pen." Some of you may remember. It enjoyed minor success on the commercial market.
The Russians, when faced with the same dilemma, used a pencil.
