Why We Talk Endlessly About NOTHING

Can you please tell me who crafted the first stapler from the rare material unobtainium?

And now a quote from your last truly intellectual post about staplers.

"Why do we waste other's time."

Why do you waste our time with this rubbish?

BTW, do you know who invented the stapler now?

hey lyn^2

Here's something you probably won't learn on google: The Japanese word for stapler is pronounced Hodg- kiss -des

They named it for the inventor... hodgekiss (or something close to that

Picked that up homeschooling the family Japanese on Georgia public TV back in the '90's

ああ、サーありがとう,

That's interesting. My sister hosted a Japanese exchange student for 3 months.

He spoke very good English so I had fun having him pronounce different words for me.

Sayonara,

May be he/ she wanted engineering community to comment rather than Google something

For the inventor of stapler?

When there are engineering questions, people do respond here. I had my own experience (recent one was when i enquired about a high strength steel forging with good weldability- contradictions, I knew, but just might be the community knew an exception) - and that of course is not easily googleable- just try it.

And I too am doing my part on those, even homeworks we leave a hint But not on this.

Put an challenging engineering question and people will respond else one will get answers as that thread received.

RAJ089,

What exactly is your question? Are you asking for recommondations on how best to staple fish? If so, there's not enough info.

Please state what type of fish (fresh, saltwater, etc.) and estimated average mass. Then we need to know what substrate you intend to staple it to and what shear forces you need the stapled fish to withstand.

Why We I Talk Endlessly About NOTHING

A far more apropos title for your querulous and ostentatious demeanor RAJ089.

Good day. I'm gone.

I didn't brag or find fault, but I did engage in a bit of fantasy.

Is fish a staple?

You must mean this, no?

Yes, for large portion of human knid and for most of the fishes, dolphins,sharks,...

ROFPML!!

Excellent demonstration of the general concensus of replies to the OP!

Er, unless you were serious. If so, you should have posted anonymously.

Engineers whether they man or woman are very much too the point sort of people, in my experience most of the time they talk facts and have little time for what we see as stupid questions. For me this isn't a problem I like the straight talk.

However as a project manager I've a couple of times seen how the "corporate" staff almost find them impossible to deal with.

Like I said I've never had a problem, when they get going on their little hissy fits and rants about how poorly educated people are these days you simply either feed them something like chocolate cake which gets them to shut up long enough to listen to what your saying or give them the "look" that informs them they are acting like two year olds.

Takes all kinds and what would be the fun if everyone including the engineers was "normal".

Your problem was to ask the wrong question instead of "Who invented the stapler?", you should have asked "What sort of forces and how to calculate those forces are involved in the operation of a stapler?"

Please send chocolate cake!

Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish and eat fish into extinction."
