Is that a paperclip in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

That is exactly the first thing that came to my mind... I wonder if that field is strong enough to damage a hard-drive?

Nature's paperclip.

Brilliant. You should get Lucky to work on it immediately.

you should animate the sifter, like the microsoft paperclip. make him really fucking annoying. plus he could pop up whenever you start typing to offer assistance.

"are you sure you want to sift another cat video?"

"looks to me like you deliberately ignored the possible dupes. you sure you want to carry on?"

"your comment makes no sense. is that you choggie?"

etc etc. it'll be a hoot.

I predict that the "intelligent" integrated computer will behave either like the Knight Rider or like the Microsoft Word help paperclip.

Reminds me of the paperclip Iphone cradle

Had a dog bite me on the tip of a finger, same thing happened.

Clinic doc heated up a paperclip with a bic lighter and melted through the nail to make the hole.

Never went back to that sawbones again. A little too ghetto for me...

Oscar for the most unbalanced, simplistic view of 60 years of history.

Seriously what do: Hitler may have escaped, “banksters” and the Vatican are bad guys; the allied powers drugged the Turks in WWI; the UN is the most powerful weapon of global control; Palestine being called Canaan in ancient times; jumping from 1948 to Sharon; Sharon’s “reign of terror” violated dozens of UN resolutions (here I’m getting confused, I thought the UN were the baddies); a very chaotic story about the Star of David; and Operation Paperclip explain about anything?

What on earth are “Rothschild Jewish zionists”, “bankster pirates”, “nuclear weapons of mass destruction”, and “Hebrew Jews”?

Btw, the documentary does mix up Jews and Israeli’s a number of times (am I the only one feeling seriously uncomfortable about that?) and seems to think that all Palestinians and Israel's neighbouring countries are Muslim.

As so often in Palestinian modern history: who needs enemies if these are supposedly your friends?

"When I signed onto VideoSift, I wanted the screen name "blackfistingcock", but it wasn't available for some reason, so I decided to shorten and modify it into "blankfist". Now everybody knows what I do on a lonely Saturday night when I'm snowed in and all I have in my room is a sixteen-inch black dildo, two gallons of industrial strength lube and an empty expression on my face as I jab myself with rusty paperclips to feel something...anything at all."

Gravity is such a weak force that the electromagnetic force in a tiny magnet can lift up a paperclip, far overwhelming the gravity from the Earths entire 6,600 _billion_ _billion_ _tons_ of mass.


Actually... the magnet can do that only because its dinky.

Gravity is such a weak force that the electromagnetic force in a tiny magnet can lift up a paperclip, far overwhelming the gravity from the Earths entire 6,600 _billion_ _billion_ _tons_ of mass.

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.

He didn't trade on a paperclip or any of the other items, what he traded on was the notoriety of the novelty.

What would really be inspirational (and much more useful) would be if he could discover a method of making such a process Repeatable. Cuz the next person who sees this and thinks - wow that's awesome! i'll trade up this rubber band for a ferrarri! - is gonna be disappointed.
