Fact of the Day

• Super glue deserves its name a one-square-inch
  bond can hold more than a ton of weight. It was
  invented by accident in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover
  of Kodak Laboratories. The main ingredient in
  super glue is cyanoacrylate, which bonds almost
  instantly when exposed to moisture since there
  is no moisture inside the bottle or tube of glue,
  it does not stick to the inside. If you stick
  your fingers together with super glue, there is
  no need to panic. The best way to loosen the bond
  is to use acetone nail polish remover, although
  soap and warm water and your sweat and natural
  skin oils will also loosen the bond. A medical
  form of super glue can be used to close wounds
  and surgical incisions, and super glue fuming is
  sometimes used in criminal investigations to
  detect latent fingerprints. Approximately 90 of
  U.S. homes have a tube of super glue.

Acount from the Mozarabic Chronicle of 754
(original source)

• While Abd ar-Rahman was pursuing Eudes, he
  decided to despoil Tours by destroying its
  palaces and burning its churches. There he
  confronted the consul of Austrasia by the name of
  Charles, a man who, having proved himself to be a
  warrior from his youth and an expert in things
  military, had been summoned by Eudes. After each
  side had tormented the other with raids for
  almost seven days, they finally prepared their
  battle lines and fought fiercely. The northern
  peoples remained as immobile as a wall, holding
  together like a glacier in the cold regions. In
  the blink of an eye, they annihilated the Arabs
  with the sword. The people of Austrasia, greater
  in number of soldiers and formidably armed,
  killed the king, Abd ar-Rahman, when they found
  him, striking him on the chest. But suddenly,
  within sight of the countless tents of the Arabs,
  the Franks despicably sheathed their swords
  postponing the fight until the next day since
  night had fallen during the battle. Rising from
  their own camp at dawn, the Europeans saw the
  tents and canopies of the Arabs all arranged just
  as they had appeared the day before. Not knowing
  that they were empty and thinking that inside
  them there were Saracen forces ready for battle,
  they sent officers to reconnoitre and discovered
  that all the Ishmaelite troops had left. They had
  indeed fled silently by night in tight formation,
  returning to their own country.
