I can't get images to work in this stupid software. So here's two links.
Ceiling damage due to flying lid
Coated ceiling and light fixture

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if every exposed surface of your kitchen was caked with a spattering of dried maple syrup? Well, thanks to my roommate Bernardo, we need wonder no longer! I awoke this morning to a loud bang, and assumed something or someone had fallen off a shelf. I ignored it for a while until my hunger drove me upstairs for breakfast. As I ascended the stairs, I noticed a battered can sitting idly on one of the steps. "Curious," I thought to myself. As I rounded the corner into the kitchen I nodded hello to Bernardo, who immediately shouted for me to stop. That's when I looked around and discovered that blotches of a sticky substance covered the floor, ceiling, walls, windows, fridge, stove and everything else in sight. The floor was slick with water, as Bernardo had already begun to mop. Apparently he had been cooking up some odd ethnic sweet dessert-like substance, and had thus placed a closed tin of it in a pot of boiling water with a lid on, and left the room. Shortly thereafter, an explosion ensued, blasting the pot lid 6 feet into the air with sufficient force that the pot rim cut a well-defined circle into the tile immediately above. The tin itself must have ricocheted about the room until it finally came to rest on the stairs down to my basement bedroom. As a result I have just spent the preceding 2 hours scrubbing, alongside Bernardo whose back problems flared up earlier this week. Cool pictures to follow soon!
