And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday and it’s a toughie so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:

Question: What is the plastic tip of a shoelace called?

Answer: An aglet.

Note: The aglet, which is typically plastic, was invented in 1790 by Harvey Kennedy. The aglet protects the end of the shoelace from fraying and makes the process of tying and threading the lace through the eyelet easier.

 Winning Class: Grandstaff.

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
