A close friend of mine once made me a flower out of a 5 1/4" floppy disk, artfully cut up and rearranged. Being both a tech geek, and allergic to the pollen of live flowers, the gesture was much appreciated :-)
I remember a very VERY frusterating conversation with my dad when the 3" (or so) hard plastic floppy disks came out. They were hard disks, right? And the big ones were floppy because... they flopped. And the other ones did not flop. SO HOW COULD THEY BE FLOPPY DISKS, TOO?

I was a rather literal child.
