Holy crap
I am really lucky there was nothing flammable within a couple of feet of the wall.
I just picked up a new cell phone charger at Best Buy -- the generic, fits-all-Sprint-phones model -- and plugged it in. As soon as I did, there was a POP!! and a blue and white-orange explosion bursting out of the socket. The fireball was only there for about half a second, but my hand was right in the middle of it, and it was hot.
I have no idea if it was my charger or the socket (this is a new building). I'm a little wary of trying it again... but my cell phone needs juice...
If this does end up being my last post, due to premature death via electrical explosion, please know that it's been a pleasure writing for Nerf-Coated World... And happy trails to you all.
