 Q: What does WD-40 stand for?  Reatha Andrew, Charlotte, N.C.

 A: It stands for "water displacement - 40th attempt."

    In 1953, the three-person Rocket Chemical Co. of San Diego tried
over and over to perfect a rust-prevention solvent for the aerospace
industry.  On the 40th try, they got it right and unceremoniously
labeled the product by its use and batch number.  Would it be a
household name today if chemists had succeeded on the 27th try?
WD-40 was initially used to protect the shells of missiles in the
mid-'50s. It worked so well to prevent rust and corrosion people in
the aerospace industry started sneaking it home for use around the
house.  The Rocket Chemical Co. put WD-40 into aerosol cans, and it
first hit stores in 1958.  Today, WD-40 is sold in 160 countries and
used by millions of people every day. There's even a 63,000-member
official WD-40 Fan Club.  Despite this huge success, the WD-40
formula is known by only a handful of people and is mixed at the
corporate headquarters in San Diego by a single "brewmaster."

    Remember, you really only need two tools in life: WD-40 and duct
tape.  If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD-40.  If it moves
and it shouldn't, use the duct tape.
