Coover was working for Tennessee Eastman Company when an accident resulted in Super Glue, according to his grandson, Adam Paul of South Carolina.

the old "accident led to billion dollar invention" story is getting old.

whatever else this nearly usless, overhyped crap did, it kept cheesy late-night TV pitchmen busy.

Fitting, then, that Obama would honor him.

It wouldn't surprise me if Obama was an accident. "Well, at least we now know Super Glue doesn't work on torn condoms!" An accident that led to trillion dollar debt.
