So I love emails like this and this was one of my favorites so I had to post it!
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent
and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953, by three
technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the
project that was to find a 'Water Displacement' Compound. They were finally successful for a
formulation, with their fortieth attempt, thus WD-40. The 'Convair Company'
bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in
WD-40 that would hurt you.
When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever
cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as
well. It's a miracle!
Then try it on your stovetop. It's now shinier than it's ever
been. You'll be amazed.

Sometimes the squeak is just to much and I do give in.
