I got this great memory from electronics class in high school, we were measuring some circuit which included an electrolytic capacitor, using an oscilloscope. All of a sudden I hear a panicked voice from the back of the class saying "it's growing, it's growing... turn it off... turn it off!" and my other classmate replying "but it _is_ off!" which was immediately followed by a very loud bang.
I turn around and see my two class mates looking shocked and confused, covered in fine fur all over their upper bodies, along with the desk.
Never got around to understanding just how they managed it, but they most certainly did manage to blow up that capacitor in a spectacular way.
