Boy glues hand to desk
May 25th, 2009 by James
A Japanese TV show featuring a variety of wacky/exciting video clips from around the world included the following clip of a kid in South Korea who glued his hand to a desk while playing with superglue:
A rescue team was called in, and after using a combination of chemicals and good ol’ fashioned prying with a screwdriver, the boy was freed!

Actually I think he just got the skin jammed in the leg of the desk somehow.

I’ve accidentally glued my hand to stuff when trying to use super glue. With some nail polish remover and a lot of water/rubbing it comes off eventually…

Kid’s – sometimes it’s hard to imagine how the human race has survived this long.
//I cut the tip of my middle finger off in Gesamtschule (i.e. 7th grade) trying to cut open a tennis ball with a X-acto knife (and can’t remember why I was cutting open a tennis ball).

It must be the age. I did the same thing to myself except it was a golf ball and the knife slipped. Ow. My Mother didn’t bat an eye. No medical attention for me~ I had to hold it closed with medical tape till it healed.

You know, I did that exact same thing. Golf ball and all. I bet a lot of guys have, now that you mention it.
My favorite was when I went to a dentist with a budding cavity, and he asked me to describe the sensation so he could estimate how bad it was. I said “Have you ever stuck a 9-volt battery on your tongue?” He said “Yup. Feels like that, huh?” His female assistant thought we were both nuts – it’s a guy thing.

What are you talking about??? Everyone knows you use a hacksaw for a golf ball. A knife or box cutter is the correct tool for a tennis ball though.
In answer to the earlier question you cut open a tennis ball so that you can then use each half as suction cups…. don’t ask.

I almost cut the tip of my thumb off. Working in my dad’s warehouse when I was 15 using a box cutter. Cutting open shrinkwrap, someone called my name as I was cutting and I felt the blade catch something and stop cutting, look down and realize it’s my bone.

I used to glue my shoes to the floor, or the desk and chair to the floor when I was in primary school; it was great fun!
But at least I somehow gathered that glueing skin together wouldn’t be the best idea.

When I was a toddler I was walking around a friend’s house and found my way into their bathroom. I opened their bathroom cupboard and started “brushing my teeth”. But what I thought was toothpaste turned out to be superglue! By the time my parents found me, I had glued my mouth shut. They took me to the hospital, and the doctor said I just had to wait till it melted in my mouth.
Or at least that’s how my parents retell the story.

I stapled my thumb in fifth grade. I pulled it out myself and it didn’t hurt or bleed much. Weird.
I teach in SK, the same age group, and I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t happened in one of my classes yet. Students at this age—is it the same in Japan?—are always doing weird stuff, always slapping each other, always drawing with white-out, always playing with their knives (exacto-knives), always running around fake-wrestling. Seriously, I have no idea how this hasn’t happened yet to one of my classes.

Now why would you even want to open up a golf ball? I mean, what did you think you’d find in there anyways?

Waah, that poor guy, must have been quite shameful for him.
But as we all know from the Simpsons, sweat produced in fear works best against glue, so the just should have told him that they need to amputate his hand or so.
@ comments: I think most guys know what a 9V block to your tongue feels like. ^^
Oh, when I was four or five years old, my older sister gave me a screwdriver and made me unscrew the cap from a power socket. Wow, that was a shock. ^^
