  Re: Where do paper clips go ...

The quality of paper clips seems to be declining -- they're not as strong as they used to be, and some paper clip themes might be described as "juniorized" in that they lack the tactile scoring (...)

(...) But readers should try this link anyway, this is one of the best "404 error not found" pages I have ever seen.
