Wouldn't it be cool to have a biro that is completely clear and colourless (including the ink) but writes normally on paper? Surely it's not beyond the realms of science to invent some ink that appears colourless in the pen but reacts with the paper to appear in glorious colour? Don't drop it, though,
or you'll never find it again...

The body of the pen isn't transparent. Yet. [Vernon, Oct 04 2004]

I have enough trouble with people running off with my pen,never mind my screwdriver - why would I want it invisible? |
|
| |
Be very, very careful when you use words like these.. |

Nice Idea, like it - I believe that there's a lot of bleach in white paper, perhaps it could react with this. |
|

po: so am I, actually (I have a PhD, anyway). Also, regular BICs are transparent except for the ink and the nib, and I'm sure you don't lose those. A fine idea. |
|

Apologies for the use of the word "cool" I was stuck in a timewarp somewhere. |
|

Surely if your pen was invisible it would would stop people running off it - it could be sitting under their noses and only you would know it was there! |

(By the way, I didn't spend 6 years at medical school not to be called Doctor!) |

CRUNCH. "OW. MY B******G FOOT. Why don't you kids ever tidy away your things?"
"Jeez, Mum, Lucy threw them down somewhere and we can't find them."
"Well, just call DrJon and get him to mend my B*******G foot then..." |

Dr Jon, having a biro will never be cool - didn't they teach you anything at med school?
Neat idea though. |

It seems that the folks at uni-ball have been looking in! I was just in my local supermarket when I came accross their "fusion" rollerball. It "looks clear (sic) writes colour...". Great minds must think alike (2 years later...) |

Seen what? It's invisible. |
