Stanley Multi-Functional Ruler Pen

The Stanley multi-function pen has a black ballpoint, a 0.7 lead mechanical pencil, an orange highlighter, and a stylus for PDAs crammed inside its tape-measure-inspired body, for which you'll pay a punitive $60 should you need something to brag about to the other foremen.

Shouldn't the pen be separate from the ruler? How do you mark after you've measured? You need another pen! Such a deal for $60! Maybe I should get a combo pen/stylus for $5 and a pocket ruler for $1.

Are those centimeters or inches? If centimeters, why would there be twelve? If inches, who the heck wants to write with a pen that's a foot in length?

You can find this same pen at the MoMA store for $20 less.

And if you would like this silly gadget, wouldn't it just make so much sense to support a non-profit AND save yourself 33 percent!!?

This pen has been around for years, and I don't think that the ruler is meant for use, it's simply one of their half a dozen designs.
And I thought it was odd that nobody mentioned the coolest thing about this pen... In order to choose which function you want to come out of the tip, you simply rotate the pen until the symbol of your choice is on the top. I'm not explaining this well at all, but this pen is ruled by gravity.
