Paperclips are in Isle 7

The guy who invented the paperclip must make millions! It's annoying too because honestly, I can't decide if the guy is really smart or really stupid.

It's just wire.

Seriously, you can make a whole lot of different shapes out of wire and it would still hold papers together. And keep them organized. I mean who said things had to be fixed together to be neat? I guess thats where the paperclip has something over the stapler. It's more temporary

Staples are the end-of-the road.

You staple a bunch of papers as if to say "I dare you to try and seperate these!"

That's why it's so fun when a teacher would tell us to rip off the back sheet of a stapled packet or test...you feel like a rebel. Like your breaking a little law. And you won't get caught; smiting the staple...

Everyone knows those papers are supposed to be fixed in a group and the paperclip leaves the option open:

"I can keep these papers together...or simply remove the paperclip for un-marked, un-holed, now-separated paperwork! And now I have this great flicking weapon!"

Hours of fun can be had flicking a paperclip, at unsuspecting neighbors and co-workers. Right in the ear!

You dont know you are being clipped until its too late and there is no evidence of who flicked it so you just have to hide your ears and keep working...or just flick a clip back. At whoever.

Because it could have been anyone.

I really dont get ridged paperclips either:

"I must buy ridged paperclips so that they will hold my papers together firmly...and with more friction!"

right...they're not freakin potatoe chips! They shouldn't have ridges!

It's all a marketing ploy.
