I couldn’t stop laughing when I first saw this posted at Scaryideas.com.

But this is no laughing matter. Don’t let this simple tool fool you. Not only can this paper clip hold your vital documents in a neat and organized stack, but it can help you hot wire a single engine plane, hold off enemy terrorists and help solve the theory of relativity.

So the next time you see a paper clip sitting on your desk. Don’t just throw it into the pile with the rest of them. Ask yourself just one question.
