Sasquatches Get Corked in France

According to Stationery Executive and Week-end Enthusiast magazine, we may have Sasquatches to thank for the modern cork board found in homes and offices all over the world. Sasquatches in France routinely stuck news reporters to cork trees using the tines of pitch forks. The soft wood made it easy to peg unwanted journalist to the trees as a warning to others. French entrepreneurs ran with the idea and the rest is history. The same reports suggests, but stops short of alleging, that Sasquatch goober may have the low-adhesion properties that inspired post-it notes. But no one really believes that.
