We had a customer bring in a system several YEARS  ago with CD drive 
that would not open.

With the aid of a paperclip and a prybar, I opened up the drive to fine a 
shattered CD inside. I took one look at it and asked what had happened
in shock, it was shattered in a hundred pieces. 

The red faced customer sputtered something about cooling the disk so the game 
would load faster ???? I cut him off short when I pointed at the remains of the 
shattered game disk still sitting in drive, now most likely a cupholder, with a 
comment about the destruction he caused.

His wanted to know if he could get a replacement CD or did he have to purchase 
a new one....    The thrills of dealing with Brain Dead Users.

This could have been Darwin Award, he used LOX, because he did not have 
access to nitrogen. I asked why not CO2, he replied it was not cold enough to
work, he had hoped LOX was cold enough ..... 

It takes all kinds ....
