      I grew up in an engineering household, and I was always amazed by the fact that the houses of my classmates seemed to be suspiciously devoid of mechanical pencils.

      The lack of slide rules and HP reverse Polish notation calculators I could understand, but why wouldn’t you want to fill your house with mechanical pencils?
