Dude, your dell just exploded...

http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32550

AN INQUIRER READER attending a conference in Japan was sat just feet away from a laptop computer that suddenly exploded into flames, in what could have been a deadly accident.

This article has some cool pics.

Should you witness such an event, his advice is, "Don't try anything courageous/stupid, stay away, away, away!"

"Fire extinguishers leave a mess on your suit and belongings; pack your stuff (if you can) and leave, leave, leave!"

haha song lyrics!
