Hey, Siri: Self-destruct. You would have thought this was an urban legend, but a man in China learned the hard way that a smartphone battery will explode if you bite into it, the Huffington Post reports. The inspiration for his lithium lunch seems to be a check for authenticity, a common habit when buying gold amongst the Chinese (and a common worry in China). Batteries are known to explode when positive and negative plates come into contact due to blunt force warping the battery but such instances are few and far between. Proving that God does in fact take care of drunks and fools, the man miraculously walked away from the explosion with no serious injuries (watch, runtime 0:34).
