I saw one fail spectacularly a few weeks ago... loud metal on metal grinding sounds, sparks and embers shooting from the bottom, it was awesome. Scared the shit out of the little girl using it though.

Never seen one before.
But I almost had the piss scared out of me over the weekend. When I was napping with little one while hubby was running errands I woke up to loud bangs coming from the kitchen. First thought was a break in, second thought hubby returned early, third thought something was exploding in the kitchen. After a few more bangs, I got up, armed with cell phone, convinced it was either stupid thief trying to steal our crock pots or exploding soda cans (hubby's car was not in driveway). I sneaked past the kitchen - peaked in and saw nothing. Circled around, heard the banging again, and was confronted by a crazed wood pecker trying to break the window. Guess he heard I make a good baked chicken and stuffing.
