Stephen Hawking Experiencing Zero Gravity for the First Time

The zero-gravity jet carrying Stephen Hawking, a handful of his physicians and nurses, and dozens of others first flew up to 24,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean off Florida. Nurses lifted Hawking and carried him to the front of the jet, where they placed him on his back atop a special foam pillow. The plane made a total of eight parabolic dips, including two during which Hawking made two weightless flips.

The best Amazon reviews possibly ever: Buyers review the Bic Pen. 
My favorite:

Worked fine with my right hand, but when I came to use my left hand my writing came out looking like the work of a complete imbecile. I can only assume Bic have created a right-handed only pen, and would caution left-handers to “try before you buy”.


“While this pen is functional and easy to use, a downside is it only supports one default font (that appears to be user specific?). I have tried multiple times to access Helvetica, Times New Roman, Impact etc. to no avail… I don’t even see any input buttons. The default font is pretty shoddy looking, resembling Comic Sans. An update would be appreciated Bic!”

“I bought this in all good faith as someone told me that this pen would be mightier than a sword, well after spending half an hour toying with it I have realised that they obviously have never encountered automatic weapons.”

“BIC pens are flawless.It has 3 different colours and an iconic streamlined lid.I hear the ink is insured for £10,000.I hear it wrote classics…like the Bible.My favourite colour is Azure Blue.One time I wrote an essay with it, and I got a A*.One time it stabbed me in the eye…it was AWESOME.”
…omg.
