A few days ago, Steven Den Beste posted a quickie item:
40 years ago, FRP was born. And because of that, a lot of babies weren’t.
This puzzled me. See, in my job as a maintenance man, I have to work with FRP on occasion, occasionally mounting FRP panels to the backs of fixtures at The Store or even attaching FRP panels to walls. I thought this post over, unable to figure out why the advent of FRP paneling, especially in food-service environments, might lead to a reduction in certain birth rates.
And then I clicked through SDB’s link, and realized that he wasn’t referring to Fiber-reinforced Plastic. He was referring to Fantasy Role Playing. I think my geek cred may be slipping a bit.

Yeah, THAT'S why
Fortunately, there were others to fill in the breach.
