What in Hell?

[mapleleaf4ever]

So I'm happily surfing the interweb and suddenly from beneath my Hand using my Wireless Mouse there's a really loud BANG... I felt it through my Hand as well. Now imagine my surprise when I open the Battery compartment to find that one of the AA's has popped it's end cap! WHOAAAAAA Budday! First time that's happened to me with a Dry Cell. I've had a Car Battery explode on me, but never a pinner ass little Duracell. Weird...

that sucks tho

[peaceful_gnome]

well unless it did some serious damage to your hand I dont think you can sue for anything other than the damage caused to your mouse, desk, mousepad, etc.

[decypher]

yeh when i was a kid a battery exploded and shot acid in my eye but no one ever told me i coulda sued, and so i turned 19 and now i can't, or so i believe.

[XSiv]

Dude that sucks.

Musta been pretty freaky.

Can you picture shorting out a batter for a lift-truck? We were putting a recharged one back into the forklift at work when the pos/neg wires crossed and basically it blew up after arcing for about 5 seconds. The battery acid eroded the paint on the side of the machine...good thing no-one was around.

Yah, I've exploded Car Batteries before. My Roomate conveniently works for a Battery Company and we had a chat about it. Turns out it was most likely a bunk Battery. Oh well, I'll just find a new Battery and keep operating.

and another reason goes on the list for why one should not purchase wireless peripherals such as mice and keyboards. is the wire really that big of a hassle?

it's not like this happens a lot.

[decypher]

^^ Didn't your read the manual? It says there's a 1:5 chance that your mouse will explode on contact.

[Gusto]

haha, yeah i missed that. i guess we should just forget about wireless everything and get something with a cord. even better, lets get rid of everything that uses a battery too. it's just too dangerous.

[decypher]

I'll telegraph Microsoft about our amazing revelations immediately.

[ja_raul]

im glad you guys are finally realizing the evil that is "cordless", oh ya, im gona add in that any cordless device also causes brain cancer, and herpes too, why not

[decypher]

btw gusto, Hon's potstickers are the shit.

ever since the accident i haven't been able to even look at a computer mouse.

what if it blows up on me too? maybe acid will burn my hand? even worse...what if it burns my eye and blinds me?

i work around computers and have been looking into getting into devry university so i could make something of my Life using technology :( now i'm to frightened.

this accident has made me have to turn my entire Life around. i don't know what to do...i'm so lost....

oh man!

i didn't even think about other objects that use batteries.

[crackdragon]

Had that happen with a pack of duracell batteries... only in my mouse oddly enough.

[mapleleaf4ever]

Oh no... IT'S THE EXPLODING MOUSE CONSPIRACY!!!!

[Goodfellow]

DUDE!! put a phaaaatty burn in the middle of ur palm with a lighter *grin and bear it* .. then go to a lawyer with that, and the exploded mouse battery, and you could sue the shit out of them!!!

[mapleleaf4ever]

You ever seen CSI? I'd be soooo busted. It's no big deal, I'll just put a new Battery in. I was just surprised at the loud noise it made. That and it's such a small Battery.

lol this made me shit my pants. we are prolly the only ones here who watch daytime commercials

note to the critics: cordless keyboards and mice are worth the risk even if it comes to leading you to death. i mean like holy crap, i am typing while i have the keyboard on my lap. im living like a king, honest to god

[mapleleaf4ever]

[Haze]
