Well, once I did create some firewire on my old Lionel model train set... burned right through my styrofoam base, then into the old pingpong table underneath, shortly after part of the wire turned to ash.
Also had some sparks and fireworks (along with some welded aluminum) come out of an ill-fated battery clip I used on a slapped together pair of robots for a demo... was something like a ford Pinto, blew up on a rear end collision.

but... well most of you herd about that one already... my right hand sure doesnt let me forget about it... oh and I always wear heat resistant mechanix gloves often now whenever near a robot...
