Haxton Stays Away From Rockets...

...but not the pocket kind.

In an interesting aside, a player at the same table as Isaac Haxton asked if anyone seated there had super-glue (reasoning behind this is unclear). Haxton quickly responded, "I don't carry that stuff," which sparked an interesting questionnaire on the reasons why.

"I super-glued my eye shut when I was thirteen years old," Isaac informed his table. Apparently, while working with a model rocket kit, Isaac was applying super-glue to an elastic strip. Leaning in close as he applied the strip, it snapped out of his fingers and smacked him in his eye. The super-glue stung, so he closed his eye to help the stinging stop. Not realizing what he was doing, it only took a few moments for the super-glue to set and successfully glue his eye shut. Isaac was taken to the emergency room by his parents where doctors had to help re-open the eye.

Isaac's eye is fine now, and we're pretty sure he wouldn't mind seeing pocket rockets any time soon. Just as long as they don't come with super-glue.
