Got another one:
Was camping a couple years ago at Whiskey Creek, a small private campground we like to frequent. One of our friends was camping with us and had his 10x12 wall tent set up just ahead of our trailer. Over the day we'd generated a small amount of garbage in a bag, mostly paper and paper products. DW figures it's time to burn the garbage. What we didn't realize (or we forgot) was that a couple AA batteries had made their their way into this bag. DW throws the bag into the fire.
Fast forward about 5 minutes when there's this gawd-awful humongous BANG! that had us all diving for cover. Second later we hear this whistling sound and something landing on the tarp cover friend's tent. It stops right at his feet.
As the dust settles we realize that this "something" was one of the AA batteries that had exploded from the heat of the fire and had rocketed up and over to the tent. It was still smoking several minutes after landing!
So, there is a good reason why they tell you to not put batteries in a fire!!:E:E
Cheers!
Mike
