weird explanations

Mechanical pencils are used in everyday life by all of us. But do you know how they really work? When you run out of lead, you push down on the top of your eraser to force the lead through the end of your pencil. That's what they want you to think. Every mechanical pencil is made with tiny bugs inside. These bugs produce lead for your pencil. When you push on that eraser, it wakes up the bugs and they scurry to produce more lead. They then feed the thin piece of graphite through the small hole in the tip of your pencil. When you throw your pencil away or loose it, the bugs crawl out and find another pencil to inhabit. Its as simple as that.
