Picking My Nose
Just been out in the car after changing the clutch cable for a Venhill one. Loads and loads better  Anyhow all went well with only one or two
stalls! I got back and noticd the temperature rising despite the fan being on so I felt the front and thought I'd change the fan plug around to
see if its any different so I reached around the nose to grab it and BRRRRAABBBARRR and a spray of blood! I'd put my finger into the fan.
Doesn't hurt really, kind of numb but theres a big flap cut into the end of my finger now that's bleeding everywhere and won't stop
I've bled the steri strips off and have a comedy plaster on the end now Still, the clutch cable is good though

Is the fan ok? 
Hope the bleeding stops soon.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Whoops!
We have a rule in our house that if steri strips and plasters won't hold it, it's time for minor injuries clinic or the local walk in
centre.
Get well soon.

I was cursing myself for not having any glue to hand. I keep saying I'll get a first aid kit in the garage but keep forgetting and having to run
around the house trying not to leak!
No photo's I'm afraid as the camera is in the living room cupboard and the finger was fair gushing so didn't want to make a mess.

Have to say super glue does work very well. I put a big gash in my hand between my thumb and finger that looked like it definitely needed stitches.
Poured super glue over the cut with the skin pressed together and it’s healed so well I can barely see the scar  gluing it did sting a tiny bit but
nothing worth bothering about. I now have a big bottle 500ml (from my r/c model building) of Zap a Gap CA in the garage for all those inevitable
emergencies

Haha!
It didn't take long for this thread to get rude!
I have a scar along a few of my fingers from where I put my hand in the spinning blades of a R/C helicopter as it veered into a brick wall (the
batteries of the hand set had died so it went into "save yourself" mode and kept the power on) If I hadn't have grabbed it it would
have been game over for one of my favourite toys! There's still blood splatter on the body of the chopper!
Hope it heals well mate.
Si.

Hey Whippy, if you have that much CA around, I hope you have a similar size bottle of DEBONDER on the shelf. That thing falls on the floor and you
could be stuck for awhile.

Superglue was first invented for field surgical repairs in 'Nam. Works very nicely too. The medical version is pants. Good old thin CA is the
stuff to use.....

LOL urban myth ahoy. Its much older than that. I'm sure its just a regular lab discovery. Wiki will probably tell you.

"Cyanoacrylates were invented in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover and Fred Joyner of Kodak Laboratories during experiments to make a special extra-clear
plastic suitable for gun sights. Although not appropriate for the gun sights, they did find that cyanoacrylates would quickly glue together many
materials with great strength. Seeing possibilities for a new adhesive, Kodak developed "Eastman #910" (later "Eastman 910" a
few years later as the first true "super glue."
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

It was a regular lab discovery as you say, but it was actually used in Vietnam to stop serious wounds from bleeding.
