    Super Glue dries exactly when I need it to on my inflatables. You’re all wusses.

    Any inflatable women need a real man, look me up.

  2. reidsan says:

    It’s actually designed to glue skin together, that’s what I heard. Cause it was used to close wounds in Vietnam. Anyone know if this is true?

    • Homer says:

      It is not true. It was developed by P.T. Barnum to create fake Siamese twins. He would just glue two random midgets together with it.

    • Akkhima says:

      Check the Wikipedia article on it. It’s pretty interesting, I think. It may or may not have been used to close wounds in Vietnam, but it was not invented for that purpose.

      • Rashkavar says:

        The Krazy Glue FAQ has an entry about this. It was indeed used for wounds in ‘nam – these days there are separate formulations for wound care and other purposes.

        It doesn’t say why it was invented, but it kinda makes sense that it was invented for wound sealing. The Vietnam war doesn’t date to the days of doctors who said “oh, I wonder what happens if you add this random non-medical material to an open wound.”

    • Bracket says:

      It’s used for medical purposes instead of stitches. Except the medical glue is $40 for a quarter CC. It’s the same stuff you buy in a bottle though. Not designed for this purpose, just happens to work like that.

      Also, it says as a warning on the bottle; instantly dries on skin contact.

    • Bob says:

      That is actually true, some bottles of super glue even have a warning about this on the back

  3. jzimbert says:

    FYI: the crack in your ass is intentional, and does not require repair.

  4. Akkhima says:

    It should take less time on wood. Super glue uses water to cure.

  5. The Admiral says:

    Speaking as someone who has glued her finger to the floor (don’t ask!) I agree wholeheartedly with this. It’s funny until you realize that to “disengage” you have to rip the first layerof skin off of whatever appendage is stuck. Think about that, friends.

    • Devylan says:

      ummm… Seriously? I have to ask.

      • The Admiral says:

        Okay…I was using the superglue to repair a VHS tape (yes, I’m that old) and I was sitting on the floor. I got exasperated, put the tape down, and then placed my hand on the floor. I had glue all over my index finger so it got stuck on the floor. No, it wasn’t a porn tape, and no sex acts were involved. I was just warning others who MIGHT be engaging in weird, super-glue fueled sex acts.

        And like Chass below says, it does really hurt.

    • Rashkavar says:

      All you need is some paint thinner. The original stuff, not the modern non-fatal-fumes junk.

  6. Chass says:

    I glued my hand to my knee once. I was fixing the sole of a shoe, and I had it propped between my knees. A bit of the super glue dribbled onto my knee, without thinking, I automatically reached to wipe it away with my fingers… and succeeded in bonding my fingers to my knee. It really hurt when I ripped it away :(

  7. Meh says:

    It says “WARNING: BONDS SKIN INSTANTLY” on every bottle. Graphs that state the obvious or stupid/coincidental facts are getting more and more frequent and I’m really starting to lose faith in this site as a source of comedic wit.

  8. ben36 says:

    This is because water causes super glue to set and you are 70% water ; )

  9. Darya says:

    This actually makes sense, as Super Glue is activated by water

  10. Meganite says:

    This is very true, actually the glue reacts with water to form a tighter bond, so it’d make sense that things with lots of water in them like skin would glue faster.

  11. Edbanger says:

    I used Superglue to avoid having to get stiches on my chin after so Idiot Punched me in a bar. I had a fairly deep gash on my chin and a friend of mine who’s a army medic, Cleaned out the wound with disinfecent and used superglue we bought at the shop around the corner to hold the wound closed. otherwise I’d have spent hours waiting in A&E to get stiches

  12. Bob says:

    It’s because super glue reacts to moisture. You can rub something with a damp cloth if you want the glue to dry faster. Also, if you accidently put glue on your tongue, it will dry quickly because of the saliva (don’t ask how that happened, long story, and I don’t want to get into it again :S)
