My littler 7 year old cousin deliberately put her foot through the keyboard on our older laptop that we don't have anymore for that reason, it was unrepairable! This was a couple years ago, but I still hate her for it.

Wasnt mine (thank god) but when I was doing work experience and me and the guy I was with were bored, We switched a K6 machine on and whilst it was on we took off the CPU fan and heatsink, then poured applejuice onto the CPU and watched it boil The smell was gr8!

And ofcourse we were throwing the K6 out anyways
