    You could also say that they're all unique. My brother compulsively assorted his pens and pencils by colour, keeping them seperate so that he wouldn't have to fuddle his way through the chaotic jumble. I believe he still does this.. poor swine.

    I don't believe anyone in this thread has meant to say that the mighty crayon of Britain hovers beyond the rest in a hallowed none-European packet of its own; only that its distinct hue means that - as with my brother - it and all other crayons should be kept seperate. This doesn't mean they cease to be crayons and instead become unique utensils, but rather that they aren't kept tightly bound into a single card-and-plastic prison rubbing up against one another and getting chalky bits in all the wrong places!

    I personally just throw all my pencils in a single draw. If I had any skill, I'd thereby be able to whip them all out at once and finish a work of art in little-to-no time, with minimal fuss. And lets face it.. who has room for a score of bickering pencil cases? Not I. My wardrobe is small, as is Europe.

    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    I personally just throw everything in a single draw. This works fine for me.

    I never knew crayons could be so profound...
