I didn't know that, I thought it was invented as a general purpose adhesive.
Ok, I was a little off on my history. It was originally discovered when trying to invent plastic gun sights in WW2, but was "too sticky." Then it found new life in Vietnam:
Even though the glue was discovered during World War II, military doctors during the Vietnam War capitalized on the product’s adhesive properties to save lives.

Many soldiers suffered injuries off-base, often bleeding out before getting proper care. Thanks to Coover’s invention, medics were able to spray super glue directly on skin to stop bleeding until the patient could make it to a hospital for treatment.

I decided to eat a late heavy dinner instead of not eating anything at all. So right now at this moment I am not sleeping because my stomach hurts.
 
Listening to Matchbox Twenty songs while I wait for it to get cool enough to go out and water my yard.
 
Working from home. Have professional pickleball on TV. Pickleball may be a sport to play with huge rising numbers, but as something to watch, it's so boring.
