The first Ball-point pens were invented by the hungarian journalist 'Lazelo Biro' and introduced in the Budapest International fair in 1931. They did not sell well at the fair, because they were considered unnecessary at that time. However the popularity of these pens went up after World-War II , as this group of people could make great use of it. Off-course , since then there has been looking back for the Ball-point pen :) ..
Who were this group of people and why were they in such a need of it?
Trivia revealed [Apr 11th]:
X = "Chinaman"
Quite guessable , wasnt it? Yeah, he said "done by a Chinaman" and the word just stuck. In another version, Charlie 'Buck' Llewellyn, a South African all-rounder is supposed to have invented this at around 1900s while playing against the English.
