OK,

I gotta say..the rumor has always been.....

Super Glue was invented/developed by the medics during Vietnam (maybe
Korea). It is designed to hold human skin together. It's main use was to
squirt in a soldier's palm and then to use his own hand to seal his wound.
The Super Glue would hold the hand in place till the soldier reached a
M*A*S*H* unit and when the docotors put the injured soldier on ether, the
ether would immediately dissolve the Super Glue. So, I would say, try ether
to get the Super Glue out of your carpet.

Sorry if this is wayyyyyyyy off.

Maybe this was just a dream I had the other night, it's really hard to tell
these days.

Terry, my man, from what I understand, hospital emergency rooms see their
share of patients with fingers stuck together with Super Glue, so, there
must
be a solvent for it.  Count your blessings.  Some years ago in our local
burg
there was a rumor floating around about a physician's wife who caught him
bumping uglies with one of his office staff and while he was asleep she
sealed the working end of his tool with Super Glue.  If there is no solvent
for it, he must have been one sorry son-of-a-bitch.
