quicko: the paper cutter


The Australians aren't known for being dramatic, but they are. Take the paper cutter. The Australians take this humble little contraption of academic wonder and what do they call it? A paper snipper? A loose leaf jambler? A ruled scissor? Oh, no. They search high and low through the depths of history, finally settling on the proletariat of French revolution. For really, what noble paper cutter deep down is not truly a guillotine?
