I have always viewed those large home improvement warehouse stores as dangerous places, but not exactly for this reason. Whew. posted by terrier319 (34 comments total)

What? You going to read your News of the Weird articles and just post one a day? You got 'em stockpiled or what? posted by xmutex at 12:38 PM on November 3, 2005

After this was posted on Fark yesterday, someone pointed out that the glue was probably put down by the guy who got stuck because 1) if it were super-glue, whoever put it down would have had to have done so just seconds before this retard sat down and 2) if it were not superglue, how did this retard not notice the sticky substance when he sat down? posted by notmtwain at 1:26 PM on November 3, 2005

Reuters and AP both have their onw 'wierd news' sections. Here's one I like. posted by IronLizard at 1:29 PM on November 3, 2005
That represents a lack of understanding about how cyanoacrylate works - moisture is what activates it. In a very dry environment it could sit out and still be ready to bond things for a good amount of time. Additionally it's available in a number of forms and I expect one of the gel types would last longer w/o setting. Or perhaps it was just down so long it developed a 'skin' which was burst when he sat on it.
And aside from that, cyanoacrylate isn't the only fast-setting adhesive out there by a long shot. posted by phearlez at 1:30 PM on November 3, 2005

Well...Home Depot is a pretty good store...for me to poop on! posted by Shfishp at 1:35 PM on November 3, 2005
Quonsar, I walk around these stores mostly fixed upward at these vaulted racks, and thinking one poorly stacked shower enclosure or mahogony door and crash! I'm a goner. Maybe that's an over-reaction based on the odds, but it has happened more than once at these stores. posted by terrier319 at 1:45 PM on November 3, 2005

Maybe, but he'd have needed to apply a coat of contact cement to both his ass and the toilet seat and allow both to dry before attaching the two surfaces.
I can't believe I'm offering insight on how one might glue an ass to a toilet seat. posted by fandango_matt at 1:59 PM on November 3, 2005

Me, I just fear rape in the tool aisle. posted by Peter H at 2:02 PM on November 3, 2005
They have piping that's over twenty feet long, too. Frightening. posted by Peter H at 2:03 PM on November 3, 2005

There are several contact adesives that only require one surface be coated. 3M makes several in spray form. posted by Mitheral at 3:36 PM on November 3, 2005
Let's ground this fluffy post with some serious tragedy
The founder of home depot, Bernie Marcus, used to say, as a sales slogan, "stack 'em high and watch 'em fly" (off the shelves). Indeed. posted by terrier319 at 4:05 PM on November 3, 2005
