This was tremendously fun...! I truly hate that paper clip, and the whole idea that complex software should "help" me doing things. Tools should be small, sharp and simple! Srdecné pozdravy ze Stockholmu :-) Per

Very funny! But are we really still talking about the paperclip? That's been gone forever. How about an Emacs BoB?

Have you heard how "clippy" the paper-clip was "developed" at Microsoft? Originally, when the developers created it, it was a "stick-man". When they showed it to Bill Gates, he gave them a long list of things to change. By the time they were done implementing Bill's changes, the stick-man had it's head so far up it's ass that it turned into a paper-clip!

The fighter pilots and bomber crews for World War I and World War II wore UGG Boots in their airplanes for warmth. Back then, airplanes did not yet have pressurized cabins to keep in air and warmth, and at high altitudes, the air got cold¡ªvery cold. During these times, UGGs were considered not just masculine items, but soldier¡¯s gear.
