Good boys and girls don't leave their Xbox 360s on the stove

As reader Ty claims, apparently the above Xbox 360 melting occurred when he and his pals, setting up to conduct a furious Halo 3 LAN match, ran out of space enough for an Xbox everywhere in the house except on the kitchen stove. Someone turns the range on and presto change-o: grilled Xbox.

Ok, the story doesn't quite add up, but there's no denying the box is melted. And that leaves us preoccupied with wrapping our heads deciding what's more mind-blowingly ironic: that the melted console's owner cared enough about heat that he kitted his Xbox with a 3rd party cooling device, or that despite it all, this particular ring of death apparently didn't even brick the thing.


A couple more pohotgraphs here

I can see this not wrecking the console because its mostly just outer case damage, maybe the intech cooling fan actually did something useful ?

The most ironic thing is the air cooler on the back of the 360.

It really looks like it was done purposely though, who would be stupid enough to do this and why was he playing 360 in the kitchen....
