Question: Who has risked their microphone investment and have it pay off?

* Submerged in boiling water
* Frozen in ice
* Dipped in liquids other than water,
ie. syrup, molasses, oil, etc
* Floated close to hazardous objects,
ie. garbage disposal blades,
propellors, etc
* Something else even crazier than the
above?

Answer: 
While I take no credit for doing it, an old friend of mine submerged one in his bathtub and fired off a bottle rocket. Him, the mic, and the bathtub/apartment survived.
Maybe a bit more of a joke... but this dog was seriously psycho! And it obsessed over the fluffy a little too much. Got a few nips too. The sound was was what I needed so it paid off.

oops, just read "hydrophone" in the title... I always post quicker than I read. In anycase it was so slobbery, that I probably needed a hydrophone.
