It’s National Paperclip Day! So OK, admittedly, I don’t have a lot to work with today. But let’s stop for a moment and pay homage to the lowly paperclip. it has enhanced our lives even if we don’t give it more than a throwaway thought. Students, office workers, teachers, administrators, lawyers alike (and who hasn’t used it as a wardrobe malfunction save?) depend on the functionality of this loopy bent piece of steel. So all hail the paper clip. Bert and Ernie know.
