    This is one of those things that you crap yourself about while it's happening, but then it's funny later when you think about it, no? Well it is to me.. I'v had so many encounters of bringing my house(s) down with dumbness. By far the worst one was setting my kitchen on fire... the whole thing, smoked, gone. Electrical fault though, so you can't blame me *cough excuses.**
    The thing is though, even if your power supply exploded your house still won't fry. Your computer will, but shouldn't your fusebox thingo switch off... you DO have one right? Well if you do it will. I'v melted so many powerpoints (well, 3 actually) and all the times the whole houses electricity was cut.
    Is it just me, or do people always do screwy stuff like that all the time?.. well I DO have nothing but technology lying around everywhere. I have to experiment, it's fun... until my house burns down, yea...

    well enough of me. Lucky you, your still alive. Celebrate with putting a metal knife (thats the shiny silver stuff) into a powerpoint. It's the cheap alternative to fireworks!

    Poor comp. Well it wasn't that good anyway. Don't pay too much on the funeral. Might want to donate it's organs too to some other needy PC like the hard drive.. if not fried, at least.

    Your scared of what? Theres no fire. It doesn't take that long for a fire to start... geez -_-' Your being paranoid now. Ths is different that finding a spider, and going to get the sprayable anti-spider solution , then returning and it's not there and you have to go to sleep again, but you know it's still lurking somewhere. Just go to bed~

    Ps: if you die from fire, I won't be held responsible

    The closest thing to a fire we had was a small one in the kitchen that, aside from some burnt food items, caused no harm. However in the basement we have a VERY ratty power cord that powers the oven above it, kinda worries me. ._.;

    Our house is seriously old. It's just been fixed up on he inside. The gas, water and electricity is soo old. 4 days ago I found out thet our gas system is illigal now because it's dangerous (and we always wondered why our water heater goes BOOM!), our pipes need a plumber every month and the electrical wiring is.... deadly. Some powerpoints are stuck to the wall with glue, lol. But I'm like some electricity expert guy, I know what I'm doing. My mum pulled a power point off the all and went nuts screaming. We're getting everything fixed soon hopefully.. what a crappy house!

    Oh yea, back in the old days (about 7 years ago) we had a gas jar thingos explode. You see it on the n00s all the time don't ya? Well good for us it was outside. It was very small and didn;t have much gas left in it anyway. Only destroyed a bit of the ground... Lucky me. I'v had an advernterous life on danger, no?
