Replying to Did I get lucky?

so, I did a load of wash tonight, and when I put it in the dryer, it was louder than usual. I opened the dryer up and felt around - didn't find anything odd. I had a new pair of jeans in, so I figured maybe the button was larger than usual or something (stupid theory, but whatever).

When the load was done and I pulled all my clothes out, I found one of my lighters at the bottom of the dryer. Now dryers get pretty hot on the inside, and everything is spinning around, so...do you think there was any chance of the lighter blowing up?

If you've ever gone through a pyro phase, you've probably blown up a lighter (I know I have), and so you'd know it's not a humongous explosion. But I still don't think a lighter blowing up in a drying machine could be a very good situation. Eh?
