How do you remove sharpie stains from leather?
Do not use bleach or oxyclean as they will weaken your leather permanently, might even destroy it. (ever splash a little bleach on clothing and find a hole a few washings later?). Oil will add another serious problem and not fix a thing.
Sharpie is a big challenge, even for the professionals because usually it soaks deeply into the leather. There is no way to remove it from the deeper layers because the chemicals with that power will harm the leather.
Leather is a porous, dense mat of fibers. Inks soak in fast, then slowly spread in every direction..forever. This means that even if you get the surface clean, or cover with an opaque color coating, if there's any ink deeper, it will show up again and cover a larger area, but lighter.
If you have unprotected leather, with a matte or dull look and a buttery feel, or if the area was worn or cracked, exposing the leather itself to the ink, DO NOT try to remove it.
IF the leather has an opaque semigloss protective coating, like a paint - which most leather furniture does - and IF the Sharpie mark is VERY fresh and you are very quick, then you can VERY gently blot just the mark (use a q-tip) with rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol. BLOT, do not rub. Alcohol dissolves sharpie ink, but is also a solvent for the leather color and can strip it bare - so be quick and gentle. You will remove some of the clear top coating and maybe the color layer, too, if the clear part has worn off. So, IF you're careful, you may be able to remove a very light mark, or lighten it to be less obvious.
If this doesn't work, you can try recoloring (DIY or call a professional) If the leather's a darker color, the ink may not bleed through enough to notice. The other option is to replace the entire affected section of leather.
If you have bonded or bi-cast leather, don't even try - these are plastic, not leather.

Where can you purchase latent image pens?
I've lost mine, which I need to study for a counseling licensure exam, so I tried highlighters. Pastel highlighters might be better. I like blue more than yellow--the words seem to stand out better.
144 paper clips in twelve boxes is what?
The 'mathematical' term for 144 is 'a gross'.
There are a dozen paper clips in a dozen boxes.... which is very few. Most paper clip suppliers put more than that in a box.... perhaps you mean twelve boxes - each containing 144 paper clips. I don't think there is a word for that number - 1728, except that it is 12 'cubed' - the product of multiplying 12 by 12 by 12.
Where did the last name staples come from?
I'm not sure where the name came from other than England. Most Staples that I know are Scottish and Irish. I do know however that there are records of people with the last name of Staples that date all the way back to the 1600's in the state of New Hampshire. Specifically Laconia, New Hampshire.

Is Foray a brand of pens exclusive to Office Depot?
This is a line exclusive to Office Depot. These are VERY nice writing pens, and the only kind I use at work.
Originally, it is surmised that people used plants to write with... long thin leaves or stems, and that eventually led, through innumerable technological breakthroughs, to the pen. Ancient Egyptians are the first people we know of to use this innovation.

No. They might be non-toxic, but don't eat them. They are not food.
