-Life of Pi by Yann Martel
okay so that itouch layout was extremely difficult to read and very small so here is another one! =D
well, it seems as if our past is catching up to us: so many assignments/tests coming back: short films essay (although van loon was being relli retarded and showed us the stack of essays but did not give it out to us!), science test, geo test, and....nothing else. BUT it still seems like a massive load when it all comes at the same time.

genius #2: the stapler
alongside the paperclip, actually no...more like the arch nemesis of the paperclip, the stapler. what an interesting piece of equipment. all it does is push some bent piece of metal through the paper and then bends it inwards once more and voila, the paper is binded. genius. although it does not completely make the paperclip futile, as they, to some extent, serve different purposes: the stapler acts as a permanent binder whereas the paperclip is easily removable.
and not only is this stapler limited to paper, but it can be used for carpet, furniture, boxes and surgery... it's amazing!
once again, i'm not really sure who invented it since wikipedia says: "The first known stapler was handmade in the 18th century in France for King Louis XV, by an expatriate Hungarian"... and the rest is history.
