"The incredible stable adhesive known as Super Glue was invented by accident in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover. While trying to make optical coating materials, Coover would test their properties by placing them between two prisms and shining light through them. When he tried cyanoacrylate, he couldn't get the prisms apart."

"Bamboo is stronger than concrete."
Duuuude!!!
I did NOT know that about bamboo! AND PANDAS EAT THAT?
ReplyDeleteMiss Congeniality is such a good movie. The one thing I didn't like about it though was the glasses. I don't like the ringing sound.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the bamboo thing! The ton of iron making a ton and a half rust makes total sense to me, since rust is iron oxide (it's heavier!).
ReplyDeleteI love these random facts. :)
