Did you know …
That before Nikola Tesla invented adhesive tape, people just spat on blades of grass and used that instead? It’s true! And it didn’t work! At all! That’s why tape was so popular when it came along.
Spitting on grass was pretty much only done for the look of it. Early engineers knew that if you really wanted two things to stick together you had to either tie them together with rope, or get them to have sex with each other (if possible) and hope that their offspring was kind of like the two parents, but stuck together. The latter method probably got started with the coincidental birth of a two-headed calf, or something, although why anyone would want a calf that drinks twice the milk is beyond me.
