@ unluckierunluckier,I was guessing that was a link to someone using WD40 as a sexual lub and gettting injured in the process.(Confidently believes he would find article of such case and searches Google)

I used WD-40 on your mom's artificial hip. How else could she put her feet behind her head?

Not the inventer at all/// Norm Larsen, the Rocket Chemical technician who invented WD-40, soon came up with the idea of selling it to the general public.

So fark is also incorrectly calling John Barry the inventor of WD-40?

It's because most diggers will just blindly believe the digg headline/title and comment on that, without actually checking out the article.

Carrying around a tiny bomb in your pocket does not seem like a good idea. Try leaving an aerosol can in the sun on a hot day and watch it explode.
