Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Best glue gun in the world?


It wouldnt suprise me though....super glue was created for closing gaping 
wounds quickly and simply in the field during the Vietnam war so.....
Of course I wont mention that the US depleted some of its "stock piles" when 
it used Napalm against civilians in Fallujah last year....Oh bugger, I wasnt 
going to mention that.....
