He turned on a washing machine and then threw a large rock inside. He writes:
I still laugh at this one, the way it exploded,

That was so funny. When I saw the word 'explosion', I thought fire and flames. But seeing a washing machine have a grand mal seizure was the best thing I've witnessed today. :D

From the sound of it, the machine was shot before the rock was tossed in.

The drum inside was bouncing around and making a lot of noise and the belt drive was overheating.

Couple hundred for repair.

This is just your household model.

Imagine what happens if one of those ultracentrifuges in a laboratory breaks....

I´ve heard several stories about rotors snapping off the main axle....

I wonder what would have happened had they put 32 glowsticks in it?
