Nigel's 8th Law makes me believe this could be true:
If you can imagine someone, somewhere doing something, no matter how stupid, someone, somewhere will do it. |

Superglue isn't powerful enough

Superglue not powerful enough? Prove it, Sharruma. Got a webcam? I'll pay you $20. |

I think the guy would have ripped his mouth open... unless he had just o.d.'ed. |

Sharruma I swear to god. I want to see this. I will pay you $50 if you let me watch you superglue your nose and mouth shut. Do you have a Paypal account and a webcam? |

Hey maybe I'm wrong
maybe the stuff in thailand actually works
all I know is the stuff in the US doesn't stick that well.
As CP suggests he'd just tear his mouth open, the desire to live outweighs everything and superglue mixed with saliva is not very sticky, especially once it's dried.
CP also suggests he might've od'd, I think this is most likely as he poured superglue into his nose.
Or as I suggested earlier, maybe he used a resin, the stuff that usually comes in two bottles and you have to mix it because of how powerful an adhesive it is.
And Bobo, why do you want me sick/dead?
all I said was superglue wasn't that powerful.
it's still toxic.
and where did I say I was willing to poison myself for chicken feed? $50, pah I wouldn't wipe my nose one it. |

Bobo works for the Super Glue company! He can't stand to hear anyone say Super Glue doesn't stick that well. It can stick a construction worker's hardhat to a hanging metal beam, you know. |

I don't know...If he just put some glue on the rim of him nostril, and then held his nose until it dried, it COULD work, assuming the moisture in his nose didn't keep the glue from drying.
I would think his mouth would have been a lot trickier. A lot more moisture, and if he's still holding his nose, he might not be able to get it into the right dry places to work. His body would have forced his lungs to breathe at some point. That's the same reason that people drown...their lungs fill with water when their body forces them to take a deep breath for oxygen.
The bodies desires can at some point outweight the mind's desires in circumstances like this. |

Oh...and from personal experience a little pulling will get you unstuck -
I have glued my fingers to objects & themselves before. |

I think cyanoacrylate based glues usually use moisture from their immediate environment in order to cure. |

David B. is right, and Sharrumma is a morrunna. Superglue REQUIRES water to work. If you line your lips with it, you will NOT be able to pull them apart. And Sharrumma - Cyanoacrylate (superglue) is NOT poisonous. It has been used for decades in emergency rooms (the very recent reformulation was NOT designed to be 'more safe', it was designed to be more flexible.)
Furthermore, the idea of using resin epoxy is absurd. It takes at least 30 seconds to set, in which time an exothermic reaction heats up the mixture so hot that all we'd get is a Sharrumma with a mouthful of slime saying "Ooo! Hot! Hot goo!" |

So Sharrumma, check the MSDS on cyanoacrylate and reconsider. You won't be poisoned. |

It seems like our forum gets a lot of 'experts;' experts on the Loch Ness Monster, experts on DNA Activation, experts on super glue, and so on. I wonder if these people just search google for threads they can rant on. |

I did my doctoral dissertation on polymers. The seal would be complete before Morunna could reach for a kitchen knife, which she would need, to slice a hole in her cheek to breathe through. $75. |

Okay...looking on the Removing Superglue section of the Superglue website, it does sound highly unlikely that you could superglue your lips together successfully.
Anyhow, I'm sure that there are more efficient ways of killing yourself than supergluing your nose and mouth shut...
What a waste... |
