Mr. Q is ready, once again, to take on your questions. No matter how intelligent or idiotic they might be. Remember, there are no stupid questions...just dumb ones.
Super Glue contains a chemical called cyanoacrylate which reacts with WATER in the air to harden. When manufactured, there is no water in the tube and so the super glue doesn't harden. As soon as the glue is exposed to the air, however, it reacts with any moisture and hardens, in the same way that epoxy resins react with their hardeners to harden. If you want super glue to harden quicker you should breathe on it, as the moisture in your breath promotes the hardening process. And it's also why super glue sticks to your hands so well, as there's a plentiful supply of water on your skin.
Too many people confine their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running up bills, stretching the truth, bending over backward, lying down on the job, sidestepping responsibility and pushing their luck. Better to pick the road less traveled on this one.
But that's probably because when I was a "surveyor" we measured in ft and in's then the other way in cm's and converted to see if the results were within tolerance.
What's 2x2x2x2-0x5?

ReplyDeleteIt always has been a mystery, talking of which are you by any chance related to Mr. E?
Mr. T. says "Hello", well actually he said "What you lookin' at fool" but I thought I would phrase it more tactfully.
And why doesn't super glue stick to the inside of the tube?

Hi Q,
ReplyDeleteIs it true that Corky's sister is a little bombshell?
Yep! She's a real firecracker!
DeleteI know that lying is wrong, but is it okay to stretch the truth?
ReplyDeleteToo many people confine their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running up bills, stretching the truth, bending over backward, lying down on the job, sidestepping responsibility and pushing their luck. Better to pick the road less traveled on this one.
DeleteI've always wondered how long is a piece of string?
ReplyDeleteMeasure half then double it.

DeleteIf covenant theology = replacement theology, what does dispensational theology equal?
ReplyDeleteSince there is some controversy about the number of dispensations in the Bible among dispensationalists, the exact equation is still "up in the air".
