Kuru was once the largest documented outbreak of a human prion disease, transmitted through ritual cannibalism among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. This rare but fatal neurological disorder causes progressive degeneration of brain and nerve cells, ultimately leading to death. Have you heard of any others?

Uni Kuru Toga pencils are possibly the most innovative mechanical pencils around - the mechanism rotates the lead by a fraction every time it touches the paper. As the lead is constantly rotating it doesn't wear down on one side, creating a chisel or 'lipstick' end which causes fragile leads and uneven lines, instead it keeps the lead point even and sharp. https://cultpens.com/collections/uni-kuru-toga | Cult Pens
