I do.
I put one down. It pops into another dimension for about 10 mintues. Then it pops back.
Same thing happens with cups, remote controls, and occasionally, Mars bars.

I am happy to say that I do know what a biro is! But it just occured to me that I’m not sure how to say it. Like beer-o?
I have a small metal pencil sharpener that did that to me a couple of weeks ago and has still not rematerialized.
Biro is a common brand of ball-point pen. I assumed it was international. Perhaps not.
It’s pronounced like buy-row as in purchasing boat row.
I had no clue what a Biro is.
Luckily, I have plenty of other writing implements and various supplies that will momentarily phase out of this dimension. It must be boring there though, because eventually they come back.
And it’s named after Laszlo Biro, the Hungarian inventor of the ball-point pen.
Hey **Lobsang! ** Does your biro say “Seroquel” on the side? If so, it just mysteriously appeared on my desk (or if it’s not yours, it hatched, a la “Or all the Seas with Oysters.”
Pandimensional translocation is a standard feature of the biro.
Other desk objects such as printed schedules and reference books have shown an amazing ability to learn pandimensional translocation from the biro.
As Lobsang notes, cups of tea also have this ability.
For a full explanation of the trans-dimensional abilities of biros I refer you to the Hitchhiker’s to the Galaxy
BTW a new series is starting on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday.
Here is the extract from the Hitchhiker’s Guide :- http://www.igd.fhg.de/~jasnoch/hitchhiker/Guide/g28.html
