About it
A wooden pencil. The "lead" inside is not lead at all but graphite, a soft gray form of carbon, mixed with clay and baked into a thin stick. More clay makes a harder, lighter line and less clay a softer, darker one; the letters on a pencil tell which: H for hard and B for black, with HB in between.
Tap it to flick it: it spins flat on the desk about its middle for two whole turns and slows to a stop where it began. Under Look in the Splash tab, pick yellow, red, blue, green, black, plain wood or the original scan.
