Thirty years ago I ran a retail store and one day a guy walked in to pitch me on some product he was selling. A long chat later he tells me he was one of the inventors of WD40. The history was fascinating, but the funny part was that along the way he remarked "I just can't figure out why everybody's talking about using WD40 to stop squeaks and oil things - WD40 isn't a lubricant, it's a water displacement agent - it has no lubricating capability!"
And, no, he didn't tell me what happened to WD-1 through 39. either.
