You could "rebrand" them as "graphing pencils"!Greg Bernhardt said:So, funny story. I bought 1500 pencils with PF's URL on them. Got them today and I ended up ordering golf pencils. So they are all 1/2 size. Lol no wonder they were so cheap. :D
Actually the pencils were a huge hit. People loved them :Dlisab said:You could "rebrand" them as "graphing pencils"!

I was just hoping for some leftover autographed pencils that I could bid on.Borek said:Perhaps once he got short on pencils he started to cut them in half, making them even shorter?
Alternatively, he bought 1500 pencils, handed them out, and then someone stole Greg's own pencil, which makes the grand total of pencil gained by the public 1501.
We were taking a popularity poll between Einstein and Hawking :)OmCheeto said:I saw earlier that Greg signed an autograph on a clipboard.
One of those two girls is a real nerd.
About the same as day 1 and 2. Very consistent :)dlgoff said:How did Hawking do on day 3? It was fairly close on day 1 and 2 but Einstein was slightly ahead. Amazing how many little kids knew or heard of them. And a few could tell your what both had worked on.

Even though you considered me a witch.Greg Bernhardt said:Physics Forums is proud to announce that this year we are a sponsor for the Wisconsin Science Festival! The fest runs from October 16 – 19, 2014.
So glad you found this, I'd love to watch it again. You can see us i the front row! :)dlgoff said:I'm proud to have been with you, Greg, at this Communicating Science: Talk and panel discussion. Even though you considered me a witch.

I want to hear your explanation of how smart phones work.dlgoff said:Yep. Front row. That's how we roll.
You'd have to ask Greg, but I think is was because I tried explaining that it was like a toy; nothing to be afraid of. Hence, I'm a witch.OmCheeto said:I want to hear your explanation of how smart phones work.
I noticed that Greg raised his hand.

Welcome to the Witch Club.OmCheeto said:And even then...
In two minutes or less?Greg Bernhardt said:It's kind of like the time traveler thread we have around here. Might be fun to do here too.
OmCheeto said:The shoulders we take for granted
It was a lot of fun and @dlgoff was awesome helping. We haven't been back because the demographic turned out to be a bit young :)davenn said:has PF been back to the 2015 or others ?
