"yeah.. but what d'ya DO with it?"

Today's random fact: It took 12 years for Post-it Notes to make it from the accidental discovery of a new low-tack adhesive to the marketplace. Incredibly, the first idea was to make bulletin boards sticky so people could stick notes and bulletins to it without pins or tape....

 

Kinda like inventing the wheel, and trying to roll the road under the car, right? It took five years for somebody to turn the premise around so that the PAPER is sticky - not what you stick it to..

 

Can't you just imagine aliens watching us from space, and reporting back to the home planet? "They what??? And they STILL haven't figured out they have it backwards? Really? Keep us 'posted'... Hahahaha!"
