"The pen is mightier than the sword"
-- isn't that what it says?
No, it's not!
It's an optical illusion. Kind of.
The word "IS" appears TWICE: once at the end of the
first line, and again at the beginning of the
second line. So what it really says is:
The PEN IS is mightier than the sword!
This is, actually, an old principle,
usually used with a phrase like "Paris in / in the
spring." Show your Nudist Pen to your friends and
see if they notice!
