Dishwashers are dangerous

So apparently, dishwashers are dangerous machines with very hot elements. Today after the Zag game in which they eeked out a victory over Illinois in overtime, I noticed a strange odor in my apartment. Realizing that it wasn't me I tracked the smell back to my dishwasher which was eminating some sort of steam (from the recent washing) and smoke, probably toxic.

Opening it up, I noticed that my pizza cutter had fallen off the rack and down onto the element at the bottom of the washing machine. The result was this photo.

Dishwashers... they're A-MAZING!
