Mindless gibberish of a tired mind

Evolution.
Where do all the pens go, you fill up your pen pot with your lovely biro of choice and the next time you come to use one, there all gone. Well I have discovered an interesting fact, When I had a little tidy up the over day I discovered lighters, hoards of them, 22 in total.
22! It's silly, I mean I know I use lighters but I'm pretty sure I have not bought 22. So where are the bleeding things coming from.
Well I have come up with a theory and it goes like this:
Pens are made of plastic
One of plastics core items are defense etc.
So maybe some of the DNA survives the process and that means that your average ball point pen has a percentage of DNA in it ripe for evolving.
So it does.
Into a lighter.
Ok hang in there we are almost done. Why a lighter? I hear you ask well the theory on that is this:
All my pens are the clicky variety so they are almost there already, they contain a liquid which can be converted to gas, so it is just a case of finding a dark corner and letting nature take its course.
There are of course a million un-answered questions but like any good theory I shall let scientists with far greater minds than mine thrash out all the little details. But it also begs the question "What other household objects are evolving?"
