Red Swingline Stapler from Office Space Movie

People sometimes form very strong bonds to inanimate objects. This is especially the case when you come into daily contact with, say, a red Swingline stapler. The ultimate utilitarian desktop accessory. Its vibrant red color stands out amongst the grays and beiges that consume office space. The sleek, smooth retro lines. The sheer weight. The precise, solid movement. The mechanics. The thick, dense sound as paper is conjoined...

One thing is certain - you will never covet an office gadget as much you will your red Swingline stapler.

Doggie and Kitty Staple Free Staplers

Paper normally sticks together through the use of external device - usually glue or some kind of bent metal wire. Then some kind of freakin' genius realized you can stick paper together with paper!

These staple-free-staplers cut a small flap and a notch in the paper, then it folds the flap back into the notch which keeps the paper stuck together! Pretty slick for a little plastic puppy!

Not only is it environmental, it's safe - especially for little kid fingers. Perfect for the geekling in your life, or the grown-up geek who've incorporated the word "squee!" into their lexicon!

So, kids, next time you've got a report due for school, you can hand your assignment in on time while also saying, "The dog ate my homework."
