I think i'm going to go fishing the next time i find myself with a cut. Becuase apparently these scientists reckon that glue from this shellfish mixed with some inkjet printer material could bring the end to painful and sometimes plain annoying stitches. So we might be going to the market in the future insted of the hospital to get surgery...COOL!

Shellfish and inkjet printer material are 2 of the last things i would want near a cut...but if it saves having to go to hospital for stitches then bring it on. I once had to wait nearly 10 hours for my mate to get his shin stitched up. He refused to go back again a couple weeks later so he took the stitches out himself.

This is pretty cool, I bet back in the day stuff like this was used all the time and if it's gonna save having to have fiddly stitches then I'm all for it.
But I'd still rather have my mussels with some white wine and cream sauce and some french fries!
