So Janie and I were on the phone a few minutes ago and we had a conversation about #2 pencils because she's taking some type of test today. I don't remember if she said what test or why but anyway, she had to have pencils and she wasn't sure if she needed #2 or not. Turns out she doesn't, but it sparked one of our conversations as to why #2 pencils are always required and why we never see any other type. Of course I'm a pretty logical person so I just assumed that maybe people in specialized trades probably use the other #s. I did a quick Google search and found the nugget of awesomeness below about #2 pencils. Yes, I'm weird.
