Instant glue, such as Krazy Glue, contains, cyanoacrylate.
Cyanoacrylate is a derivative of cyanide. The theory goes that if you
were to heat the trace (with your soldering iron) enough, it could
vaporize the glue, which would create cyanide gas. Which in turn, could
put an end to your video game habbit. Permanently.

I'm an engineer, not a chemist, so I don't know the validity of the
assertion. However, I'm not going to be a candidate to try it either.

I just run jumper wire when this happens to me. It at least has no
lethal potential. ;-)
