[OT] Magic smoke. (Was: Speaking of explosion...)

Sorry everyone, it's Friday, and my mind isn't on focused on work at all. I thought I'd share something I found humorous. I just got a recall notice and replacement battery for my Kyocera phone. In the letter that accompanied the new battery, written by a Kyocera attorney, it was said that there was little risk of a widespread problem, and only a few people had been affected by the (I quote) "rapid disassembly" of the device, and of those, only one person had received second degree burns, and property damage in other cases was minor. "Rapid disassembly" ??? As if angry little gnomes in the battery wake up and start taking it apart and throwing pieces around (flaming pieces, I'd assume, given that burns and property damage resulted)? I assume he meant it can *explode*, or is that a "forceful rapid disassembly" (and therefore something entirely different). Anyway, whatever you do, don't let those gnomes into your classic computers. I can only assume those of you with caps that have given in to rapid disassembly (or perhaps even forceful rapid disassembly, or worse, sudden intense warming accompanied by forceful rapid disassembly and ensuing off-gassing of combustion by-products) let those gnomes get in there. Have a great weekend, all... --Patrick :o)
