Electrical Blowout

I haven't had any strange or crazy things happen to me lately, so something was bound to happen soon. On Thursday morning I was blow drying my hair and getting ready for week. All of sudden my hair dryer starts to spark, one even landing on my leg, and the plastic casing and wiring completely melt. I was so shocked I threw the dryer across my bedroom. Luckly it had already died and there were no burn marks on the carpet. Pretty crazy though. And the worst part....my hair was only half dry!
