Then what's the point? All the best jokes are dirty. No, I don't really mean that. All the BEST jokes have talking animals.

Oh my gosh I just noticed that! The banner ad I saw was "Cancer Jokes: to relieve the stress and anxiety of cancer." Nice.

I think the idea behind using a pen is that pencil points break off. This leaves a little conductive piece of graphite and clay floating around. Also, sharpening a pencil is messy with the effect of gravity, in freefall NASA would need a multimillion dollar pencil sharpener that costs an addition $10000 to lift into orbit.

Even if mechanical pencils were used, you'd still have the broken points (and probably entire pencil leads floating around).
