Colbert's comment was something like "I can only assume that he finally fell off that girder".

Wait, hold everything!  let's not confuse Super Glue with Krazy Glue! 

KRAZY Glue:

Krazy: "A plastic knob, a plastic plug, a rubber boot, a metal broche, a fishing rod, a cycle grip, model planes and model trains, a doorknob screw, a flashlight case, the broken trim on any car."

I can't believe we didn't realize this...

the frets are usually superglued, the nut is usually superglued, and much of the inlay work uses superglue as well.

A TIME illustrator made this very error today for our issue that's hitting shelves Friday.  It was too late to change the illo, so we used the generic term in the text and simply referred to superglue. (It's in Webster's!)

I can't recall the last time a post on this thread resulted in so many bad puns.  Yikes!   ;) ;) ;)
