Not too long ago, my friend had moved to a new apartment in Washington, D.C. and we took over a few bottles of wine to celebrate. Unfortunately, his wine bottle opener was nowhere to be found—a moving casualty, I suppose. Not ready to give up, I did a few Google searches to find out how to open a wine bottle without an opener. One of the methods involved using a phone book.
Since the birth of the ‘Net, I’m pretty sure that’s the only time I actually sought out the Yellow Pages to solve one of my problems.
