Eyes Glued Shut

When I read this over a month ago, I couldn’t believe someone could be so stupid as to place super glue next to eye drops in the refrigerator, and then glue their eyes shut.
But apparently there is a whole world of such stupid people.
An elderly Thai monk accidently glued his eyes shut when he mistook a tube of super glue for eyedrops.Monk Prapatworakhun, 81, – who is now being treated in a Bangkok hospital – said he accidently took the super glue from his temple’s drug cabinet hoping to relieve a severe eye itch.“I squeezed out several drops on the floor and saw a clear liquid, so I put four drops into each eye,” Prapatworakhun was quoted as saying by The Nation newspaper today.“In about a minute, my eyes felt cold and then sealed closed.”
Lucky he was not one of the monks who took the vow of silence.
