Back in Highschool I took Art for zero hour for extra credits, thinking it would be the easy way to get ahead.
We were making busts (statues of people from the shoulders up) and I decided to make one of my youngest sister. After a few months, the bust was made and and it looked *very* nice. All that had to be done was put it in the kiln for the final stage.
I looked over the bust to see if there was anything left that had to be done, and it just so happened that I had corn kernels as one of my supplies that came from another project kit I had bought. I added the kernels to the bust, thinking it would make really cute detail to the top of the blouse that was just barely visable on the bust.
That was one of my worst blonde moments. After a short while in the kiln the kernels began to explode. I was out of the school and didn't hear it, and by the time I got back the next morning, my bust was completely destroyed.
That isn't a whole lot considering some other stupid things I've done...
The morale of the story: Popcorn explodes when it gets hot.
