Straight from the corporate web page...
In 1953, a fledgling company called Rocket Chemical Company and its
staff of three set out to create a line of rust-prevention solvents and
degreasers for use in the aerospace industry, in a small lab in San
Diego, California.
It took them 40 attempts to get the water displacing formula worked out.
But they must have been really good, because the original secret formula
for WD-40—which stands for Water Displacement perfected on the 40th
try—is still in use today.
Convair, an aerospace contractor, first used WD-40 to protect the outer
skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion. The product actually
worked so well that several employees snuck some WD-40 cans out of the
plant to use at home.
A few years following WD-40's first industrial use, Rocket Chemical
Company founder Norm Larsen experimented with putting WD-40 into aerosol
cans, reasoning that consumers might find a use for the product at home
as some of the employees had. The product made its first appearance on
store shelves in San Diego in 1958.

There was no WD1 thru WD39. When they were coming up with name for it,
they
listed all the uses. #40 on their list was Water Displacement, they
liked
that use the most, and they decided to name it WD40.

Well, as long as you are postulating so esoterically;
- Where are preparations A through G?
- What happened to the first 6 ups?
- What's another word for synonym?
- How can there be self-help groups?
- Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
- How much deeper would the ocean be if sponges didn't live there?
- When sending someone Styrofoam, what do you pack it in?

a
hot summer's day and Luke was in the Marina having a few beers
aboard his boat, patriotically named the "Fourth of July". He was
waiting for his friend, Opie to arrive so they could go for a cruise.
Opie was late, unfortunately, because he had to pick up his wife from
her appointment with the obstetrician.
Her examinations were cheap because the doctor, a fellow named Juan, was
Opie's cousin. Anyway the appointment went overtime and Opie was late
getting to the Marina. Luke had been drinking all this time and was
feeling no pain. When he saw Opie finally walking down the pier, he
jumped up and staggered to the side of the boat to wave to his friend
and nearly fell in! Opie got there just in time to grab Luke.
Thus, it was that O.B. Juan's kin, Opie saved Luke from falling to the
dock side of the Fourth.
Have a great Memorial Day.
