My cheap multimeter started smoking last week.

My buddy Mike had one pop on him mid-solder and it went up like a firecracker.

Man, that's rough... I've seen caps blow before but not while someone was soldering. Scary stuff. Hope Mike didn't get hit with any shrapnel or burn his fingers too bad. Makes you want to double check every component before you even plug in the iron.
