1921 Rodney Dangerfield - Comedian, actor (Caddyshack, Natural Born Killers, Easy Money, Back to School)

I never thought he was funny.

1946 The first ballpoint pen went on sale. It was invented by Hungarian Laslo Biro and manufactured by a British company. Many British TV shows still refer to a ballpoint pen as a “Biro”

We just take them for granted now. I remember when pencils were used all the time. A ballpoint pen was considered a luxury and we really freaked out if we lost one. Replacing the ink cartridge was always done. Never would one be thrown away just to replace it with a new one.
