Ever have that sinking feeling that you left a major appliance running when you left the house? Well you might not be paranoid: It may actually be on... though not of your own doing.

Andrei Melnikov found that out the hard way: Something activated his oven, causing it to turn itself on and melt a plastic meat thermometer which had been left inside.

How did this happen? Melnikov and his Brooklyn apartment building's skeptical super eventually figured it out through trial and error: The tenant's ringing cell phone somehow turned on his nearby Maytag oven when it rang. If you're skeptical, check out the video of this in action at the New York Times website and see for yourself.

It reminds me of the ridiculous movie: "Ghost In the Machine" that ran the other night on AMC or something. Interesting timing. Too bad the movie wasn't as good as this story.

It also reminds me of our first garage door opener about 50 years ago. Dad, being the playful sort that he was, tested it elsewhere now and then. I'm sure the local funeral director wondered why the hearse garage door opened regularly when we visited the market across the street.
