Surgical \"glue\" has been around a while it seems. When I had appendicitis, the surgeon sealed me up with glue instead of stitches where the incisions were made.

That was in 2006.

I'm pretty sure superglue was invented for emergency battlefield surgery.

Nope do more research before making wild statements like that. Look around the year of 1942.

One of first real uses of superglue was to close battlefield wounds in Vietnam. So, I'm gonna call myself half-correct.

The first “real” use of superglue was to glue hardhats to I-Beams… :P

I call BS. Seeing how it was invented in 1942 and used for other things long before Vietnam.

That's what happens when you post in E&C concerning something that is without controversy.

Give it a page or two, and it will be about evolution =P
