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. ;-)
