Yesterday I was working on a sculpture with a hot glue gun. I put it down for a minute, and I saw a pink flash, and all the lights went out in my room.
As you can sort of see in the photo above, glue had built up inside the gun until a drop formed on the two internal wires, shorting them. Luckily I wasn't holding the gun at the time. I'm used to getting burnt by my glue gun, but still.
