    Actually, super glue was created accidentally by Eastman Kodak Co.,
    (while trying to do something else.) I also created rather a problem
    for Kodak, because they found that nothing seemed to dissolve it, so
    that each time they made another batch, the (expensive!) container
    they made it in had to be destroyed. They were not trying to find
    something to close wounds. But, as one would expect, everyone
    immediately set about looking for uses for this new mystery glue!
