[quote=Anonymous]I had no idea about exploding glassware until about a month ago.  It was about 11:30 at night.  I was alone except for my 19 year old who had just come home.  He was in the bathroom, and I was laying on the couch watching tv and probably dozing when I heard a horrible noise and jumped up.  We had a new fish tank set up and my first thought was that it had shattered because it sounded like glass. My son and I searched and searched but could find no damage, no broken glass anywhere on this floor of the house.  It was the strangest thing because breaking glass is a very distinctive sound and that's what I heard.

The next morning, my daughter opened up a cabinet and out flew shattered pieces of glass from a bowl that was inside that cabinet on a top shelf.

It's still a mystery why it exploded like that.  The only thing I can think of is that it was relatively old, and there was a thunderstorm earlier the previous day and the temperature had dropped considerably, so maybe a change in barometric pressure?

Weird....
