all very good questions [sm=icon_cheers.gif] I bet if we all got drunk we could answer most of them, and think we were the smartest people in the world while we were doing it.

4 Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

Because Glue contains special coompounds, such as carbon disulfide, which when exposed to air begin to form bonds and consequently the adhesive begins to harden. However when oxygen deprived, the adhesive is stable and forms no new bonds ... JK, Why the heck doesn't it stick to the bottle, I always wondered when I was a little kid in pre-school?
