How Pencils Are Made

How Pencils Are Made

---

The picture at left illustrates the steps involved in the manufacture of a wood pencil.

It starts with a block of cedar (1) which is then cut into slats (2).

The slats are then stained (3) and grooves are cut into one surface (4).

Prepared leads are placed into the grooves (5) and a second slat is placed on top and bonded with the first (6).

This 'pencil sandwich' is then passed through a milling process (7) to separate the individual pencils (8).

The pencil is painted and finished (9 & 10), a ferrule crimped onto the end (11), and finally, an eraser is crimped into the ferrule (12).

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

 

 

Plato:For the greater good.

 

Karl Marx:It was a historical inevitability.

 

Machiavelli:So that its subjects will view it with admiration,

as a chicken which has the daring and courage to

boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom

among them has the strength to contend with such a

paragon of avian virtue?In such a manner is the

princely chicken's dominion maintained.

 

Hippocrates:Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in its

pancreas.

 

Jacques Derrida:Any number of contending discourses may be discovered

within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and

each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial

intent can never be discerned, because structuralism

is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!

 

 

Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.

 

Timothy Leary:Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment

would let it take.

 

Douglas Adams:Forty-two.

 

Nietzsche:Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road

gazes also across you.

 

Oliver North: National Security was at stake.

 

 

B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its

sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a

fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while

believing these actions to be of its own free will.

 

Carl Jung:The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt

necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at

this historical juncture, and therefore

synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.

 

Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself,

the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.

 

Ludwig Wittgenstein:The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the

objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came

into being which caused the actualization of this

potential occurrence.

 

Albert Einstein:Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed

the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

 

Aristotle:To actualize its potential.

 

Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-

nature.

 

Howard Cosell:It may very well have been one of the most astonishing

events to grace the annals of history.An historic,

unprecedented avian biped with the temerity to attempt

such an herculean achievement formerly relegated to

homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurence.

 

Salvador Dali:The Fish.

 

Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from

the trees.

 

 

Emily Dickinson:Because it could not stop for death.

 

Epicurus: For fun.

 

Ralph Waldo Emerson:It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

 

Johann von Goethe:The eternal hen-principle made it do it.

 

Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

 

Werner Heisenberg:We are not sure which side of the road the chicken

was on, but it was moving very fast.

 

David Hume: Out of custom and habit.

 

Jack Nicholson:'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored)

reason.

 

Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?

 

Ronald Reagan:I forget.

 

John Sununu:The Air Force was only too happy to provide the

transportation, so quite understandably the chicken

availed himself of the opportunity.

 

The Sphinx: You tell me.

 

Mr. T:If you saw me coming you'd cross the road too!

 

Henry David Thoreau:To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow

out of life.

 

Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

 

Molly Yard: It was a hen!

 

Zeno of Elea: To prove it could never reach the other side.

 

Chaucer:So priketh hem nature in hir corages.

 

Wordsworth: To wander lonely as a cloud.

 

The Godfather:I didn't want its mother to see it like that.

 

 

Keats:Philosophy will clip a chicken's wings.

 

Blake:To see heaven in a wild fowl.

 

Othello:Jealousy.

 

Dr Johnson: Sir, had you known the Chicken for as long as I have,

you would not so readily enquire, but feel rather the

Need to resist such a public Display of your own

lamentable and incorrigible Ignorance.

 

Mrs Thatcher: This chicken's not for turning.

 

Supreme Soviet: There has never been a chicken in this photograph.

 

Oscar Wilde:Why, indeed? One's social engagements whilst in

town ought never expose one to such barbarous

inconvenience - although, perhaps, if one must cross a

road, one may do far worse than to cross it as the

chicken in question.

 

Kafka:Hardly the most urgent enquiry to make of a low-grade

insurance clerk who woke up that morning as a hen.

 

Swift:It is, of course, inevitable that such a loathsome,

filth-ridden and degraded creature as Man should assume

to question the actions of one in all respects his

superior.

 

Macbeth:To have turned back were as tedious as to go o'er.

 

Whitehead:Clearly, having fallen victim to the fallacy of

misplaced concreteness.

 

Freud:An die andere Seite zu kommen. (Much laughter)

 

Hamlet: That is not the question.

 

Donne:It crosseth for thee.

 

Pope: It was mimicking my Lord Hervey.

 

Constable:To get a better view.

 

And Now the Political Side :)

 

BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!

 

JOHN MCCAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

 

HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure (right from Day One!) that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.

 

GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

 

DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?

 

 

COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

 

BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of road?

 

AL GORE: I invented the chicken.

 

 

JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

 

AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need more black chickens.

 

 

 

                                                                    

 

 

 

                                  AFTER ALL DO I HAVE  INDIVIDUALITY OF MY OWN OR NOT? - AMK

                                                                    Lovely as it goes ;) !!!
