I reprogrammed my Arduino to operate the coffee maker, and then an hour later to wake me up with an alarm call. I woke to a smell of burning. I thought the Arduino had short circuited. Turned out I forgot to put water in the coffee maker.
Pete Wood
Perhaps you should design an Arduino powered Smoke Detector as well! :0)

I went to a club with my Arduino project. The bouncer took one look at it and shook his head. He said, "Sorry, I can't let you in with shorts."
LStacey
I just told that to some of my colleagues and received blank stares all round! I got it, though!
LStacey
I gave the button a poke
But my arduino started to smoke!!
I'd call it bad luck
But twas the tenth one I'd ... Mucked
At this rate, I'm gonna be broke!
(I'll confess, I found this on the Arduino forum)

Arduino: Just enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot.
