The Microsoft Word Paperclip is an almighty being who lives inside the computer. Your computer, also mine and everyone else's. He appears when you open Microsoft Word and sits in the corner staring at you, occasionally making unhelpful suggestions and clanging loudly when you hit save. You can yell at him and tap on the computer screen, but he won't do anything. When you punch the monitor you only hurt your hand. You can talk to him all day long but he just stares at you and you cannot shake his hand or unbend him to pick a lock or fidget.
