00:01 Hey, if it weren't for rubber bands, duct tape, and paper clips, the world would fall apart. :-) The rubber band was patented in England on March 17, 1845 by Stephen Perry, who was a 19th century British inventor and businessman. His corporation was the Messers Perry and Co, Rubber Co Manuf London, which made early products from vulcanized rubber. And, oh yeah -- Happy St. Patrick's Day. ;-) - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
