What is the meaning of this?
The Hitchhiker’s Guide says the pencil is a marvelous object. It has been around for hundreds of years. The Ancient Earthling Dictionary for the 20th Century defines the pencil as instrument for drawing and writing: a thin cylindrical instrument used for drawing, or writing. It consists of a rod of graphite or some other erasable marking material inside a wooden or metal shaft.
It's used for what?
The pencil has many uses for terrestrials of the Milky Way Galaxy including thought and image conveyance. The thoughts are rather vivid in ingenuity and could go on for centuries and centuries and centuries. Earthlings of the Milky Way Galaxy have many thoughts but they lack the ability to demonstrate without words or action where the interstellar creatures Jagaworrs, who live below the surfaces of Mars, convey thought with telepathic vibrations through the ground. The Jagaworrs display mental images with a Film o Matic machine that plays three dimensional images through mid air.
It's Multi Configuration consists of?
The pencil has been made from many materials including feathers, wood, metal, and plastic. It comes in many colors such as royal blue and lemon yellow, shapes such as cylindrical and rectangular, and sizes from short and stout to outrageously long. Some pencils have little knickknacks on it such as bells, fuzzy creatures with enormous white feet, individual first names, and even the phrase “No. 2.” The phrase “NO. 2” indicates that it is not the best writing implement but that another prevails over it. Perhaps this other tool for Galactic writers is a Galactic Crayon or a Super Duper Cosmic Ball Point Pen. A much admired tool by Vogons.
Where in the Heaven's did the Pencil get it's name?
How the pencil came about is by this. A long piece of wood fell off a tree and said to a clump of graphite powder and clay next to it, “Hello sir, could you kindly direct me up the tree. I seem to have fallen off my space and it’s quite chilly down here.” So the clump told the piece of wood, “Gladly sir”, and he carried the piece of wood up the tree to where he belongs. A human walked by and saw a trail of graphite powder and clay along the tree and he picked up the two and said,’ I think I’ll call this tool a pencil.” That’s basically it. The rest is history.
