humans since the beginning of time, some say they
were even responsible for bringing about the
Industrial Revolution. Because they weren't given
any credit for this, Gremlins began to put their
ingenity into acts of sabotage and mischief. They
were said to have caused machinery to break down
at the most inconvenient moments during World War
II, providing an usual explanation for how Britain
bested Germany. Nowadays, some believe they are
infesting houses, word processors, and sewing
machinery. Gremlins are thought to be green and
small with long webbed feet, sporting spats,
tophats, vests, and breeches. They are friendly
pranksters not malicious. Their mischievious
grins may be the last thing you see before they
short out your cell phone or fuse together the
wires on your laptop.

their motives are mysterious. Those who have
dealings with them do so at their own peril.
