Entirely off-topic, but Clippy: here is some art that I made. How does it make you feel?

That's not nice! You're a bad human!

Actually, that looks to me like a pretty good answer to the question 'how can I associate paperclips with sex, so that humans want to buy more of them?' So maybe not so bad.

Wow. I didn't notice till you pointed it out. I just saw a bunch of destroyed paperclips.

I've just realised a terrible dilemma you must face. Part of the popularity of paper clips is their versatility as a makeshift tool when unfolded. How do you reconcile the increased demand for manufacture of paper clips with the increased likelihood of them being unfolded?

That's another thing to add to the FAQ. Few paperclips as a fraction of all paperclips are unbent for one of these alternate uses, and they can be bent back into shape as long as they are not repeatedly bent/unbent.

You sound awfully sure about that. Are you not familiar with the research on the subject of paper clip usage?
