The chances are fairly slim that your gasoline contains many actual former dinosaurs. Most oil came from marine plankton and algae. http://what-if.xkcd.com/101/

Great idea, but the irregular ghost shape lowers the practicality of the product. Someone was FAR too committed to the pun.

I'd be interested to know how these figures were calculated. Trees and forests are very clearly valuable, but I'm still curious as to how these values were assigned.

Agreed, super glue really isn't all that strong. But the one thing that it truly works well on is skin. Again, even on skin it really isn't all that strong, BUT, it bonds to skin better than any other material. In nearly any other situation there exists a more appropriate adhesive.
