The Jedi's Queen

The Post-It note was invented by Art Fry. He use small pieces of paper to mark his place in his church hymn book so he knew what songs he was singing. The papers were always falling out, and Fry remembered hearing about a temporary adhesive created by Dr. Spencer Silver. The glue wasn't strong enough to hold things together for a long time and was forgoten. Fry thought it would be a good idea to put the adhesive on small pieces of colorful paper, and the rest is history. smiley - smiley
