Do you use Velcro to
secure any of your
tools or power cords?
Here's a close view at
what the stuff really
looks like when it's
just about to close.
The nylon hooks on
the top dig into the
coiled fibers below.
The fibers hook into
the loops. When you
pull the two sections
apart, the fibers slice
through the hooks,
thereby producing that
infamous ripping
sound.
Some of you may find
a striking similarity
between this creature
and the last helper you
hired, but this is simply
a 1,000 times
magnification of a
common household
dust mite. The serrated
front claws are for
collecting flakes of
human skin; his body
is armored against
attack. If a house has
too much moisture
and too little ventilation,
these guys can
multiply like crazy
and produce an allergic
reaction
