The biro was not invented by Hungarian pen manufacturer Lazlo Biro as is commonly believed. In fact, the Bi-directional Ink Repelling Organ (B.I.R.O.) was first designed and built by the Reverend Bilious Fluff in 1864. The organ, a bellows-powered leviathan which needed a team of seven small boys to operate, was installed in Fluff's church and gave it's first performance in the summer of 1865. Before it's destruction by a pack of leopards in 1842, hundreds of thousands of people had made pilgrimages to see the organ. Upon arrival at the church, often after a walk of many thousands of miles, fervent devotees would prostrate themselves before the mighty construction proclaiming "Oh great Organ, admire my fresh fruit and vegetables".
