    So last night I had just finished reading my daughter her bedtime story when the fire alarm went off. I knew immediately what it was. I'd put some eggs in a pot on the stove to boil and forgot about them. The water boiled off and then the eggs started burning. When I got downstairs smoke was billowing out of the pot. So I took it off the stove and put it in the sink. But the pot was still smoking something fierce, so I turned on the water... bad move... at least one of the eggs literally exploded when it was bathed in the cold water, with a very loud pop, and I found myself covered in bits of egg and shell.


    I know it isn't quite Darwin Award worthy (thank God) but still pretty stupid.

    Beep. Hey, it's Bob's phone. I know you're probably calling to tell me what a bad idea thawing my ice with a torch is, but I don't have AT&T, so I don't get calls out here in Nowheresville, MA.

    That fire did only $30,000 worth of damage?

    @Ssscorpion: The picture is not the actual fire. That's Carrie's house.

    Is it just me or is the one in your tip STILL a torch. And how long do you need to hold a torch to your vinyl siding before it really starts to go up in flames?
