I had a lid liner break like that on me. I had left it on my windowsill. My guess is that it had a hairline crack, and it got heated up and broke. I did hear one story of a guy that had a sunburst flask that was cracked all the way around. He left it in the sun light, and the sun burst it. PUN.[sm=lol.gif]

Maybe that's why the passenger side window on my '77 Cutlass just BOOM! shattered while I was driving down the road waaaayyyyy back when. That white vinyl driver's seat never was the same...

I have only ever had one bottle self-destruct. Fortunately, it happened a long time ago, back when I was a kid and had mostly junk in my collection. I had a small Warranted Flask that I thought was cool because it had a slight sun-amethyst tint to it. One day, I noticed a huge crack running right across the middle of the bottle. I went to pick it up, and had only the top half in my hand. The thing cut itself in half, almost perfectly, right there on the shelf. ~Jim

I notice when I dig dumps and find lightblubs, they explode when you throw them at rocks[:)]

hmm, that's crazy.

Did the bottle leave you a note at least?

I think that would be lightbulb homicide, as opposed to bottle suicide [;)]
