asphaltcowgrrlFrom my One Good Fact email:
Because his bookmarks keep slipping out of his choir hymnal, 3M scientist Art Fry teamed up with colleague Spencer Silver to create a paper with a light adhesive that would stay in place without damaging the pages. They created the Post-it Note.
What's even more amusing is that half the time I'm using a Post-It Note as a bookmark. Hah.

And said "You take your damn Scotch tape back to your damn Scotch owners and you tell them..." And thus Scotch tape was born. It could be a myth, but it's a cute story.
