Obviously I didn't burn down the plant or anything, but the most ridiculous thing that happened last night was that I microwaved some VRB to plate my milk samples. When you use a bottle of agar, we have a hand torch that you're supposed to use to flame the edge of the bottle to sterilize it before you pour. I had just pulled the bottle out of the microwave - it was a little too hot to hold bare-handed.
I used a paper towel to hold the bottle. I used the torch on the bottle...
Apparently, paper is flammable.
