It's a Sticky Situation

From Yahoo! News, April 25, 2010, "Post-it Notes strong after 30 years."

Probably my second favorite thing to mess with after Bubble Wrap.  Let's see how many times it will stick?  And what a great country song it would make.  I can see it now, "It's a Stcky Situation."  A real love ballad waiting to be written.

VHS tapes and Walkman's from the era are essentially gone, but not that lil' yellow piece of paper with the sticky at the top.

Actually, it started off as an engineering mistake by 3M scientists when they came up with an adhesive that would stick to just about any surface that today is one of the top-five office supply sellers.

I wonder if anyone still has an original 1980 3-by-3-inch canary yellow stack; might be worth something?

Today you can get it in 8 sizes and 62 colors.

Inventors Arthur Fry and Spencer Silver have been inducted into the National Inventor's Hall of Fame.
