I like this a lot.
It makes a refreshing change from the sexyfail stories, and reminds me of:

- the time the light bulb in the living room spontaneously exploded, scaring the shite out of my dad, my brother and me; and
- the time when my brother and I decided to melt an ice cube on the glass hob surface, before being stopped by panicked parents once we'd told them about our exciting science experiment.
