Great... I seem to have lost my pencil somehow. Was behind my ear, last time I checked. 
I might have left it on my bookcase...
Can you find it?

I call shenanigans. How is it balancing so well on its eraser end?

I wasn't sure how I did it, So I Googled it. it also didn't know, so I asked "AI".
Balancing a pencil on its eraser end is a quirky challenge, much like the Pontiac Fiero itself—both require a bit of patience, precision, and an appreciation for the unexpected. While it might seem like a task reserved for a moment of perfect balance, you can do it any time, no special occasion needed. The trick is to find the right angle and a stable surface, much like how the Fiero found its balance between unique design and performance.
To make it work, you need to carefully position the pencil with the eraser end touching the surface. It’s all about small adjustments, using the pencil's slight imperfections or the weight of the eraser to your advantage. Some people even place a tiny mound of paper or sand underneath to give it that extra support.
Much like the Fiero, which seemed to defy expectations with its mid-engine design and sporty feel, balancing a pencil on its eraser challenges the limits of what you might think is possible. It takes a little patience and practice, but once you nail it, it stands there as a perfect symbol of balance—and maybe a little nostalgia for the Fiero's unique spirit.
I think perhaps I used some crazy glue...

I can see a bright future for AI in writing political speeches.  Poetic baloney!
And I know the pencil below is balancing on the "wrong" end, but it's impressive nevertheless.
