This pen seems to be made from chrome plated steel. I doubt you could get too far by chewing it.

A thixotropic fluid is a shear-thinning fluid which takes a finite amount of time to reach an equilibrium viscosity when introduced to a step change in shear rate. However, this is not a universal definition; the term is sometimes applied to pseudoplastic fluids without a viscosity/time component." <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thixotropic" rel="nofollow">Source</a> Oh, and for those curious about the title of this post:
