That isn't really that funny. I guess people in Canada (or at least those on that tv station) have odd senses of humor.

It's so strange you should say that, some group called Laugh Lab {their web page} says this is the one that got the most votes from Canada

Top joke in Canada

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.

Which is also an UL, once developed the pen replaced the pencil on both US and Russian spacefights. It was less likely to break and send conductive particles floating into sensitive components, also it was less flammable in a rich oxygen environment.

All I can say is ... what is with those Belgians? Nothing personal, but that's a real old one guys. I know you can do better.
