a script that moves the pivot at the origin

hello. i know there are a few MEL savvy mods on this forum, as MEL is not my favorite thing to do. this may seem like a simple 4-5 line script to most, but i've tried and all failed miserably. heh.. i won't even post my so called "code" as it was way off...
so please a little help to speed my modeling process and technique.

read title: a simple script that takes the pivot of object selected and places the pivot at the origin [0 0 0]any object type or mesh etc... ,


thanx in advance user added image:tup:

There... make shelf button of this or something...
Code:
{
	string $sSel[] = `ls -sl -typ transform`;
	string $sItem;

	for($sItem in $sSel)
	{
		setAttr ($sItem + ".scalePivot") 0 0 0;
		setAttr ($sItem + ".rotatePivot") 0 0 0;
	}
}
