Had a monitor explode in front of me.
It buzzed, threw sparks out the top vents, and smoked.
The picture wavered, snapped bright, and then disappeared forever.
I unplugged it in record time, and ran with it outside to the dumpster and pitched it.
Wonder if there's an Olympic event for shotputting computer monitors?

As long as you weren't hurt, now all you can do is regret not having a camcorder for America's Funniest Videos....assuming that you can laugh at it now.

Do you know what happened?

A cat puked in the top of my CRT monitor and all it did was buzz angrily and shut down (the monitor, not the cat).
