That's an extremely fine and accurate pointing device used on very high
resolution touchscreens to point to very specific points much more
narrow than your grease covered meat hook. It's called a STYLUS (sti-
lus). It is used for drawing very fine lines on high definition
screens, pointing to very closely spaced news articles on webpages such
as:
http://news.google.com/
without zooming in and out and in and out just to point to them. It's
accuracy, like your middle finger now pointing at my message, is the
width of the pointy end.

Yes, but I can look down that mountainside in 3D with Google Earth and
see the stream burbling over the little falls into the pool below.....
