Don't say that or the airlines won't let me take a pencil on board an

They already won't allow metal cutlery (although Qantas seems to let you
have a metal spoon and fork, but a plastic knife).

I hate to think what the marines can do with a pencil if required...

Now what did that have to do with plan9 again?
