The strangest thing just happened to one of the sliding shower doors at BP's crib, and I as I still look at it amazed and puzzled by this phenomenon, I decided to come pick the brains of the LTG community (the most performing ones :wink: ) in case someone would be able to enlighten me on what kind of physics are involved here.. or have I just stepped into the twilight zone?..... :shock: :shock: <shock music here>
My wife and I had just arrived home, coming back from the airport where I picked her up after a day at work (for me), and as I was just getting comfortably settled with a 335 on my lap and headphones on my ears, she shows up at the door beckoning at me with a hint of panic in her eyes.
So I delicately lay the Gibby on my stool and meet her back in our bathroom where she was staying, staring at something, with the intensity of a cat looking at a bird within reaching distance...
She says: "I heard a "boom" and then I keep hearing this crackling noise".
I listen, and I hear the crackling noise.
After nosing around for about 4.5 seconds, I see one of the shower doors completely cracked, and still in the process of cracking as attested by the ongoing sound. Here's a couple of pics, from outside and inside the shower:
I just started shaking the door a little bit, to get all the plastic do come down, and I guess will be touring the local home depot shortly looking for shower doors.... :roll:
I'd be really curious to know if anyone either has had the same thing ever happening to them, or any idea as to an explanation? :idea: :shock: :? :!:
You'd expect this kind of thing to happen after slamming the door, or as a result of a thermal chock, as we are all too well aware of the effect it has on guitar tops, but what gives here? Neither applies, the house was empty all day, I took a shower this morning behind a structurally sound door, and after a whole day, all of a sudden, POP!

No entiendo.
Je ne comprends pas.
I don't understand.
