I eat CDs for breakfast.

When I worked for a computer manufacturer as a technician, I use to have a picture of a tower with shards of cd sticking out of it from a phone call where a client told me the computer had "exploded." She took a picture and sent it to me as evidence. Apparently, the CD got knocked off balance while spinning and with the force of the spin (centrifugal? centripetal? I don't remember which is which) the cd broke into a bunch of pieces and lodged itself in the pc, sticking out in all directions. It was a good conversation piece, so I left it taped up at my desk for 3 years, at least.
