For the life of me, I can't figure out what she'd use SuperGlue for, except for the obvious. Clearly, my mind isn't kinky enough.

So help me out here - what, on earth, did she learn there? (If you're serious and not just joking, please be clear.)

I'll bet she didn't learn about Glue Justice (http://www.mouthmag.com/classics/gluejustice.htm) there, but it's a good thing to know about anyway. I haven't used it myself, though I did once shrink-wrap all the telephones in my office.

Interesting use for Super-Glue: if one wishes (for whatever reason) to have pointed ears, and yet does not wish to go around in the stupid-looking latex kind, one can *fold* the tops of one's ears into points, securing them with a drop of Super-Glue. This is not harmful; Super-Glue was originally developed as an alternative to stitches for holding wounds closed.

It's kind of a fiddly process to do by oneself, especially if one's trying to do it in a car-mirror, which is the usual thing for me. However, if one manages not to either get it in one's hair or glue one's fingers to one's ear, the effect is a lot more realistic than the stupid latex. It'll last all day if one doesn't mess with it it; I once had it last two days, but that's not usual; sweat and skin-oils naturally detach it after a time. It comes right off in the shower, or with Baby Wipes if one happens to be out in the Wild. Srsly.

Given that it has been used for everything from sealing wounds (including on battlefields) to temporary fillings for teeth and plugging holes in brain blood vessels (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1087800/Toddler-saved-pioneering-op-uses-medical-superglue-plug-holes-brain.html), plus various types of craft uses, we wouldn't be surprised at anything we heard.

Well, extending logically from the previous comment, I suppose someone like me could use it to improve my cleavage... :O

Well, Spider Robinson had a story in which it was a murder weapon, but aside from that...
