Look! Here's a post(it)!

Hey, I've got an accidental discovery here! 
So let me bring you back to 1970. That's quite recent actually. Anyway, a chemist named Spencer Silver was in the 3M (you know the tape?) lab trying to create a super strong glue. But he kept failing. When pulling apart two pieces of paper stuck together with that adhesive, Spencer discovered that the glue stuck either to one paper or the other. USELESS! Now let me bring you to a church. So this man, a colleague of Silver was kind of in a church choir. He wanted to put some sort of marker to mark his page. (Like, a sticky bookmark?) So he coated his marker (Not the permanent one in the post below) with Silver's glue and it actually worked AWESOME! It didn't even damage the pages. You now this invention as the POST IT note. Wow! Yay thanks for your attention! 

Bye=)
