Fun Stuff

did you know that the safety pin was invented in 1849 by a man named walter Hunt?
it was originaly called a dress pin and was simply made of a piece of wire with a pointed tip and a twist in the middle which created a spring and a clasp that bent around the point, Walter Hunt sold the rights to the invention for a mere $400.00.

How interesting! It is amazing how we take small things like that for granted and they are so handy.
