Things I have learned today:

Pyrex baking dishes sometimes explode.

Nothing like greeting my parents at the door with "Er, there's been a change in dinner plans. Mom, have you ever had a dish explode in the oven?"

Partially-cooked roast beef sitting in a profusion of glass shards is eerily reminiscent of a former house mate's "art" projects.

We vacuumed the interior of the oven.

My life? Very, very weird.

I've never exploded a pyrex dish, but I did manage to completely section one - as in, watching it crack and split into six beautifully precisely edged pieces - after I unthinkingly put the still-hot dish in the sink and ran some cold water on it.

It made a sort of "cheggity cheggity cheggity" noise, very ominous, and then this bizarre little science-fiction fissure appeared in it, and it just sort of separated.

Physics is weird.
