I was just trying to glue the back end cap of my pen drive, which had come undone. The Super glue came out of the wrong end of the tube, which I didn't notice. I now have three of my fingers glued together and have a new finger that, in its previous avatar was apparently my pen drive. So how do I handle this without ripping the skin off my hand? Help!!!

That's kinda a strange situation there. I would say you should try to burn it off, but thats only as a last resort. See a doctor even though its only on your fingers superglue still has health effects and wont all come off.

We keep nail polish remover around for just such accidents. I don't know what else will remove it except time.

First of all, don't try to tear the glue or force it apart, because it might rip the skin.
You need to apply acetone-based nail-polish remover, as the acetone can break the glue bond. If there is a lot of glue, you have to soak the hand in nail-polish remover and wait for the bond to dissolve.
If you don't have nail-polish remover, soak the hand in warm, soapy water. After the water soaks through, you can slowly roll the skin to work the glue bond apart. I hope this works. Be careful and don't hurt yourself!
