I know web is not the authoritative source of information ;-) but it
seems that looking for "sticked vs stuck" seems to give me many
explanations that boils down to what this says:

    http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Talk:sticked

and http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stick#English lists "sticked" as
"archaic" when the word is used for "To glue; to attach; to adhere".
