I eat CDs for breakfast.

I blame the fact that its a freebie myself, although this isn't a really good explanation, since I may add that I burned 2 songs off it before it exploded, and there was no fore warning when it did crack, and also the disc wasn't even hurt when it came out of the drive.

a mystery.

bonus points to the person who can tell me where the freebie came from.

I don't know. Do whorehouses give door prizes?

When I worked for a computer manufacturer as a technician, I use to have a picture of a tower with shards of cd sticking out of it from a phone call where a client told me the computer had "exploded." She took a picture and sent it to me as evidence. Apparently, the CD got knocked off balance while spinning and with the force of the spin (centrifugal? centripetal? I don't remember which is which) the cd broke into a bunch of pieces and lodged itself in the pc, sticking out in all directions. It was a good conversation piece, so I left it taped up at my desk for 3 years, at least.
