Ladislao José Bíro was born 117 years ago today, and while you may not have heard of him before, you’re surely familiar with his most lasting invention: the ballpoint pen. Google’s latest Doodle honors the Hungarian tinkerer, with a nifty animation illustrating how the pen works. Bíro was born into a Jewish family in Budapest in 1899.
