Well with the chicken and space race stories, I gather a few things
1. We're too literal 2. We don't read instructions 3. We think too hard and thus make a billion dollar pen while russia makes a pencil 4. The US Scientists have taken being "the smartest of the world" to their heads and thus anyone can outsmart them 5. people of the united states like making lists like this.

I've put an order down for one "Anti Air Craft Ballistic Poultry Launcher".
I spent 50 more quid and got the added "Kentuckey Fried" feature

And mechanical pencils have their failings, too. Aside from broken graphite fragments potentially being released, they're still dependant on gravity to a certain extent - to feed new leads into the tip after the old one is used up. edit> and the russians weren't the most safety concious of the bunch when sending people out into space!
