Blowed it up real good............

I've always been fascinated by static electricity. Most especially because of its hidden powers. You see, as a technologist in a past career, I already knew the dangers of ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) to electronic circuitry - in fact have witnessed the effects. Static will do microscopic damage to (certain) electronics - the kind that often doesn't manifest itself right away. The damage is so small that the affected part of the circuit only causes certain - but very specific things not to work.

But static can do much more obvious damage. Like making things go 'Boom'. Like in the case of this story.
