The Malaga law professor’s discovery was a set of biro pens from an ingenuous law student who carved notes onto them before an exam.
A post from Yolanda de Lucchi went viral on Twitter after displaying the “relic” she found when tidying up her office.
The professor shared a picture showing 11 biro pens which, from a distance, would probably look like your average writing tool.
However, upon closer inspection, you can see that the pens are covered with tiny writing.
The story went international and was picked up by LAD Bible on Wednesday, October 13.
“Tidying up my office, I found this university relic that we confiscated from a student a few years ago: criminal procedural law in bic pens. What art!”

A user replied claimed to be in contact with the ‘artist’, and described their method: “The technique used by the artist was to replace the graphite lead of a mechanical pencil with a needle, which made it super easy for him to write in the pen.”
La técnica utilizada pro el artista, según me cuenta él mismo, era la de suplir la mina de grafito de un portaminas por una aguja, lo que le hacía súper fácil el escribir en el bolígrafo. pic.twitter.com/oDqkniYPjn — Gonzo (@gnlhi) October 5, 2022

Other replies were also quite informative:
Jajaja Conozco a varios compis q se sacaron la carrera haciendo chuletas con los bolis (los bic y otros) o con papelitos. Lo tenían todo controlado, hasta el punto de plastificar los papelitos para q no sonarán cuando lo sacaban del bolsillo 😂 A día se hoy, muchos, son abogados — Ana Marqués. (@anamarqs) October 5, 2022

“The HammuraBIC Code” tweeted another user referencing the ancient inscriptions.

Such careful artwork contrasts with puzzlingly high prices for certain left-handed pencils.
