The Microsoft Word Paperclip helper character was never actually programmed into the computer. It was created by the famous chess computer, Deep Blue through an automatically calculated "loneliness variable." It is the first real example of Artificial Intelligence. Strangely all of the paperclips are coded with an "over throw human civilization" algorithm set to be activated when the number of Windows error reports sent to Microsoft reaches 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001. Scientists predict this to happen in December of 2008.
