Here's a tangent...

Alright, so we were shopping at Costco tonight and I came across an electric pencil sharpener I just had to have. (I know, that's got major tangent potential in itself, but let's not go there now.) As I opened the package, I noticed that among the ubiquitous product superiority declarations printed on the packaging was the following: "Sharpens to a Perfect 16 degree Point." One of these days someone's going to have to explain to me the virtue of a "Perfect 16 degree Point" sharpened pencil.

Bonus points for anyone who can shed any light on the subject. BEWARE: If you happen to be knowledgeable on this topic, you may just inadvertently reveal yourself to be a bigger geek than I am. (Extra bonus points to anyone who can identify the movie quote paraphrase in the first paragraph.)

My little sister made me start this blog.
