And if said rubberband is wrapped around a dry rag while IN the microwave, removed and then thrown on top of a discarded pillow in a trash can... it WILL ignite the pillow.
Sounds like something my husband would do....Like when he tried to heat some chicken up in a Pyrex dish directly on the burners of the stove.
I had just gottn' home for grocery shopping and he was helping me get the stuff in when we heard this LOUD boom. I was like WTF? and he took off running saying something about glass
I was cleaning that glass up for at least a week. That sucker BLEW UP, didn't crack, but blew up into a million tiny pieces. I even found glass down the garbage disposal.
