What has teeth,

But is not alive,

It could bite you,

But it doesn’t try,



It is made of metal,

But used to seal things,

Made by Gideon,

In 1901.



What am I?

          What has teeth,




          It sure does




          But is not alive,




          No, it's not




          It could bite you,




          If you are not careful (ouch)




          But it doesn’t try,




          No, it doesn't.




          It is made of metal,




          Among other materials




          But used to seal things,




          That's the whole idea - seal together things




          Made by Gideon,
          In 1901.




          Invented by Gideon Sundback in 1901

          A Stapler. Its not alive, but has metal teeth that is used to seal and join papers. Also the first published use of the word "stapler" to indicate a machine for fastening papers with a thin metal wire was in an advertisement in the American Munsey's Magazine in 1901
