PAPERCLIPS The regular paperclip was invented in 1899 by a dude from Norway named Johan. Before that, people used sharp pins to hold papers together (ouch). There must be a zillion different kinds of paperclips out there today. Still, Johan's design is far and away the most popular - it's been the world's favorite paperclip for over 100 years. The light bulb [in the back center] actually unscrews and you can keep paperclips inside the bulb. |
