I was just using my laptop as usual, and I saw a kink in the AC adapter cord, so I tried to untwist it. It made a zapping sound, it sparked, it shorted out and a hole melted through the cord.

Awesome.
I can't use my laptop cause the battery life is abysmal. At my sister's on her computer right now. I won't be able to get a new adapter until Friday. So until then, no interwebz, games, or music.
Sadness.
