Not at all. A binderclip is a peice of very thin metal (I can't tell if
it spring steel or some kind of alamunum alloy) that is bent into a
triangular shape, and has two wirewire pieces atteched to each side of the
apex of the triangle. They can be folded back, and uses to leverage the
clip open, and can be removed from the clip for a semi-perminant fitting by
squeezing the sides of th w wire together and pulling it free.
Not a very good description, I know. Follow this link:

(And no, I don't work for Staples, it was just the first image of them
that I found)
If you go to any office suplly store, you should be able to find them near
the paperclips and rubber bands. They've pretty cheap too, and make
excellent bases for improvised carboard standups. (How to Play Battletech
