How to Remove a Stripped Screw

Just about everyone has had to deal with a stripped screw at one point and depending on how bad it's stripped, the process can be pretty simple or infuriating. Fortunately, thanks to Instructables, now you can try five methods to deal with a stripped screw, which should make the process a lot less frustrating. A simple rubber band can help in most cases, but sometimes you need something a little more extreme. I've actually had to use the "cut a notch" method before and while cutting the notch can be a pain, the removal afterward can be worlds easier.

So check out the full list of ideas on Instructables.

Hundreds of books get destroyed and shredded for recycling on a daily basis. When a locally owned bookstore goes out of business, what do you suppose happens to the inventory of books that don't get sold?

Yes, some might get donated to worth causes, but a large number of them go to facilities where they are sorted and shredded so that the paper can be recycled.

Perhaps some of those books that were destined to be destroyed made there way into this sculpture instead.

I do wonder, as others have, however, what happens when the books get wet.

It does look very cool but I wonder about practical things like what happens to this when it rains? Do all those books get soaking wet? Has the extra weight been calculated into the structural design? Who cleans it up when the books are all sodden?

The good thing about conceptual art is that the "artist" need not master any artistic skill. Just scale up everyday objects or move them to novel environments.
Yawn!
