    Okay, I'll go for the offtopic award of the day. Did you know that certain people are for some reason totally immune to crazy glue? Well, I mean, not totally immune. But I can pour the stuff on my hand, and slap it on a desk... and wait for a good long period of time, then just peel my hand off, with no pain, and very little resistance. And I leave a lovely hand print.

    Anyone know why?
