disappearing pens

here is something we have all gone through but are too careless to notice or even think about it.......the title says it all.....everyone has lost pens at some time or the other........what concerns me is that where do all these lost pens disappear......if the law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be destroyed and it reappears at some other point then there should be law of conservation of pens implying that pens do reappear at some other point.....the rate at which everyone keeps buying pens and the rate at which they lose them concerns me.....the sheer quantity of these lost pens is too large to ignore.....i have propounded a number of theories to explain this.....some of which are as under
1.>the human race is after all as foolish as its seems - losing is a habit and searching for is a pain
2.>i smell mutiny afoot......some megalomaniac is planning a WMD (weapon of mass destruction) whose main raw material is the humble pen.....now since he is in severe shortage of funds he has resorted to stealing them and we are fooled into believing that we have lost them
3.>ET returns......they have finally decided that we are too great to take head on......so as a way of inflicting some damage upon us they have resorted to stealing pens.....
4.>some entrepreneur has finally hit upon a brilliant idea........lets accumulate all the pens possible and then when the world needs them make a fortune of of selling them.......
5.>unknown to us pens offer a portal to another dimension through which the dark lord is trying to enter our world......so young shadeslayer has taken it upon himself to destroy all such portals.....
6.>yoda has found that pens are actually light sabers......and the force is strong within all of us......so that explains the disappearing pens.....
7.>his highness the lord itch-maniac has discovered that pens offer a convenient way to itch in those unreachable places.....so he has directed his lessors to steal all pens possible.......
8.>some political party has decided that since pens have no religion they have no use in this world.......so all members have been instructed to annihilate all pens possible on sight ......

so here in fond memory of all those lost pens who are now wandering in the darkness........let our prayer be the pole star.....in the hope that those lost return home........RIP
