Line 1:

'''Static cling''' is caused by [[static electricity]] often in a [[clothes dryer]]. It can be removed by deionizing materials with water, and prevented with [[fabric softener]] dryer sheets. [[Antistatic agent]]s are used to make the surfaces slightly conductive, which reduces or prevents the static charge buildup.

This is a category of topic relating to '''computer algebra''', which may cover both specific [[computer algebra system]]s and general information about [[algorithm]]s and techniques useful for computer algebra.

A neat trick which children (and many older people) find very funny is to rub a [[balloon]] against one's shirt to give it a static charge and then throw it towards the ceiling, where it can stick for hours.

==Static Cling in Advertising==

[[Category:Computation]]

Advertisers in urban areas, eager to use [[guerilla marketing]] techniques, have turned to static cling as a distribution medium. In an advertising campaign for [[MSN]] 8, [[Microsoft]]'s [[online]] service, thousands of butterfiles resembling the MSN logo were affixed to surfaces in [[New York City]] and held there with static cling.
