Yes yes, I'm on Snopes again. But sometimes the true tales on there are worse than the urban legends. Like this one: Man Killed By Exploding Lava Lamp
At first I freaked out, because like most people who grew up in the nineties I had a lava lamp when I was a kid. It sat on my bedside dresser and I'd watch it as I fell asleep. It was very relaxing. It never even occurred to me it might explode.
Okay, to be fair it's not as if this man's lava lamp was just sitting there innocently and then exploded for no reason. The man was heating it on his stove (why??) and standing in front of it when it exploded. Still, what a way to go. I'm guessing they didn't put the cause of death on his tombstone.
