Just about every stapler has two "settings" (for lack of a better term). There's the standard setting that everyone's used to, which curls the ends of the staple inward, forming a lock on paper that's impervious to just about anything (except staple removers, which I'm pretty sure have to be diamond-tipped to remove a staple)
And then there's the setting that pushes the staples outward. I don't think I've ever used that setting, and am frankly a little afraid about what might happen if I did. I think the world would actually collapse in on itself. Don't try it. You'll be tempting fate.
My theory is that the stapler manufacturers were bored, and they wanted the metal piece to be a smiley face, a la Wilson from Castaway.
So we have people that have gone insane from being stranded on a desert island designing and manufacturing our staplers.
