Since it has been featured so prominently in both BB Gadgets and in the BB BB Gadgets summary, I feel obligated to comment of the Stanley pen.
While there is no doubt that the bold yellow ruler design really says "Stanley" all over it, this seems like mid-range SWAG or salesman's give away that has been marked up to $60. And the statement it seems to make is "I spent $60 on a pen that other companies would give away."
Still doesn't explain why it would appear twice in the list!
It's the pen so nice we had to link it twice! Except it's not that nice! (Totally agree with you, Skep; cute pen, but I can't imagine paying for it.)
