Exploding frying pans

Last year there was a recall of exploding frying pans. For some reason I found this funny.

“The pans can explode or separate when preheated, used on high heat or used for frying,” the safety commission said in a statement.

It explodes when you fry something in it.

Apparently “frying stuff” was not in the test plan for the frying pans.

In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
