I just had this emailed to me recently ...

WD40


The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and
degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by
three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its
name comes from the project that was to find a "Water Displacement"
compound. They were successful with the Fortieth formulation,
thus WD-40.

The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their Atlas missile
parts.

The workers were so pleased with the product they began smuggling
(also known as "shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at home.

The executives decided there might be a consumer market for it and
put it in aerosol cans. The rest is history. It is a carefully guarded
recipe known only to four people. One of them is the "brew master."
There are about 2.5 million gallons of the stuff manufactured each year.
It gets its distinctive smell from a fragrance that is added to the
brew. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing
in WD-40 that would hurt you.

Here are a few of the 1000s of uses:

~I have even heard of folks spraying it on their arms, hands, and

~Florida's favorite use was "cleans and removes love bugs
from grills and bumpers

~The favorite use in the state of New York

~WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will
be catching the big one in no time. It's a lot cheaper than the chemical

attractants that are made for just that purpose.
Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for
fishing are not allowed in some states.
~Keeps away chiggers on the kids
~Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately,
and stops the itch.
~WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on
the mark and wipe with a clean rag.

~Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed
and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the
lipstick
spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!

~If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
moisture and allow the car to start.

~WD-40, long known for its ability to remove leftover tape
smudges (sticky label tape), is also a lovely perfume and air freshener!
Sprayed liberally on every hinge in the house, it leaves that
distinctive
clean fresh scent for up to two days!

~Seriously though, it removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor!
Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't
seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard
to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have
a lot of marks.

~Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed
quickly! Use WD-40!

~Use it to start your lawn mower in the spring.
A good starter fluid.
