useless factoid about WD-40 (NAC)

[george mills]

Me 44's working fine. I'm jus' killin' some time until the next...
Gleened from the WD-40 site.

*Did you ever wonder what the WD in WD-40 stands for?  The name was
lifted right out chemist Norm Larsen's laboratory notebook.  Way back
in 1953, he was trying to concoct an anti-corrosion formula, which
worked on the basic principle of displacing water.  On his 40th try,
Larsen finally got it right.  Hence the name WD-40.  It literally
means Water Displacer, 40th try.*
