Rather than merge... edit

Let's just delete Office Toys and redirect the link. There is no new information to be found in the other article. Merging would be useless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.72.87 (talk) 22:24, 26 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

wha...? edit

"The first executive toy may have been a gadget designed by the great mathematician and engineer Philo of Byzantium (about 280 BC - about 220 BC), an octagon-shaped ink pot with openings on each side. One could turn the pot so that any face is on top and dip the pen in the opening, but the ink never ran out through the holes on other sides. The inkwell was suspended in the centre on a series of gimbals and remained stationary in spite of any rotation."

As written, this makes no sense. Someone needs to fix it. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 19:32, 20 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
