A man dies and goes to hell. There he discovers that he has a choice: he can go to capitalist hell or to communist hell. Naturally, he wants to compare the two, so he goes over to capitalist hell. There outside the door is the devil, who looks a b...

This just goes to show that even the most mundane objects around us (and I don't think they come more mundane than sticky tape) can have strange, interesting and mind boggling properties that nobody knew of.… Continue
