Old news. I invented this two years ago with some paper clips, a watch battery, lemon juice and four pointy cups from a water cooler. They'll soon discover the magnetic field "domes" fall prey to quantum nonlinear space-time diffeomorphisms that thwart all attempts at clear readouts of volume resolution.

(All right, I'm lying. I used two paper cups).

Annoying Paper Clip FTW! I think we've all wanted to disfigure that little bugger at some point or another...

The "tin foil hat" stuff is mostly at the beginning and the end.

Project Paper Clip seemed to about removing Nazi scientists. The conspiracy theories would be that it was actually to remove SS operatives. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip)

There's a lot of speculation that is stated as fact in the video, such as that Hitler didn't commit suicide after all. This is a link to one such conspiracy site (the front page says, "Your government is poised to inject you with a tracking chip manufactured by Applied Digital Solutions called, "Veri Chip". Don't believe me? Click below, I'll prove it to you.")

Most of the stuff in the middle is fairly accurate, but it's hard to take it all as fact when it is sandwiched in between dodgy stuff (at best). There's also a strange tone that seems to suggest they are putting a spin on it. Using a term like "reign of terror", for example, is always good way to characterize someone without having to give any real evidence of their character.

i saw a video on here ages ago about how to pick a lock using a tension wrench, a saw-tooth raker, and a single pin pick.

Someone at work had locked the front panel on one of our servers at work, we couldn't find the key, and he was off that day. All I had were paperclips. I managed to bend the paper clips into roughly the shape of the lockpick tools. Within minutes, I had managed to pick the lock with my makeshift tools.

I have never felt more McGyver-ish in my whole life. And among my coworkers, my geek stat went up at least +5.

That was great... I hadn't heard of Galloway before, but I like the cut of his Jib!

Did you folks hear the office paper clip noises in the background though? Check it out at -3:30 & -1:13

Who put fifty tons of shit on the Foreign Office roof?
Who suffers from nine known diseases?
Who gets up in the morning when the sun comes up
And makes their beds, paper clips, bus tickets
All around their heads?
Who congregate around Trafalgar Square
Taking pot shots at the tourists?
Oh you've got to watch out
When you wander round the square in the morning
Cos they're everywhere, they're everywhere

Here we have an honest man
A civil servant to boot
He lived high up in the Ministry
And when he wished to make a point
He knew just what to do
His window ledges were all covered in grease
"I want them out of here"

He said to me, "I want them gone"
Because you see - Oh don't you see
None of us are getting any younger
You've got to follow your nose
And if it tells you that you've got to go
Well that's because, they're everywhere,
They're everywhere

So we called in those men, those horrible men
We set them to work on the rooftops
You see their van is very plain
And I know they're too ashamed
To wear their by appointment badges anymore
Sometimes they use vaseline, sometimes they use the pill
I've often seen them with a gun
But as the years go by, old habits seem to die
And nowadays they knockatize them all
Oh you've got to watch out
As you wander round the square in the morning
Oh they're everywhere, they're everywhere

Couple o' favs.

hm, Perpetual Motion?
Since we're talking actual physical books here, how are newly published books acquired and introduced into the trading system? Oh. Someone, or rather someone Else, has to actually Buy them first. With like... money. eww.

Forget books, lets just skip ahead and do this with houses and cars cuz i need one of each of those. And in return for someone giving me a free house and car i'll trade you um... One Red Paper Clip, deal?
