- dean177 6y agoPlease stop repeating this, it’s total nonsense.
- smabie 6y agoThat's why he said apocryphal..
- dean177 6y agoWhich means they are of doubtful origin. There is no doubt that this particular story is a complete fabrication
- jolux 6y agoYup. Completely false. The Russians ended up using that pen too or their own version of it; the Americans started off using pencils but it turns out having electrically conductive graphite shavings floating around is bad for electronic equipment.
