Yesterday I had an extra set of AA's in my pocket for my digital camera along with some spare change. I reached in and was greeted by a burning hot Quarter. Quickly tossed the contents of my pocket to the ground, and the 2 AA's had flipped opposite directions, and apparently with the help of the hot quarter completing the circut, had melted down and fused themselves together!

It's a good thing the kindergardener's who I was chaperoning on the trip were on the other side of the park at the time, or they may have gone home from the field trip with a whole new vocabulary <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
