WARNING - DVD Fire Hazzard

Recently a friend of mine accidentally placed a DVD in a portable CD
player. Within seconds, smoke began billowing out of the CD player,
then it burst into flames. He quickly grabbed the player and tossed it
out an open window, but his clothing caught on fire, which then caught
the window curtains. He sufferred 3rd degree burns to his arms, face,
and upper torso. His home was completely destroyed. Fire officials
said it was the DVD improperly placed in the CD player that caused the
fire.

A word of caution, NEVER put a DVD in a CD player.
