If you've ever used Microsoft Word, then you've encountered "Clippy," the little paper clip that bounces to attention when "you look like" you're having difficulty doing something. With big, blinking eyes and brows that just won't quit, Clippy continually pops up to help you troubleshoot. Clippy doesn't take "no" for an answer and has a tendency to get beyond annoying. Unfortunately, he isn't any more helpful in real life.
