Worst punishment you've put your Nintendo product through?

Hi. Seeing as, to my knowledge, there isn't another thread like this, and because in my opinion it would be a fun topic; lets discuss Nintendo product abuse!

Most Nintendo products are practically unbreakable. They can take a ridiculous amount of punishment and abuse.
Post about the worst thing you've done (accidentally or otherwise) to a Nintendo product, and the outcome.

For me:
Nintendo Gameboy Color (Teal green) - Accidentally dropped into a pond while turned on. Sat in water zapping itself for about 5 minutes before retrieved. Worked intermittently within 5 minutes. Worked perfectly after about 7 hours of drying in the apartment. Still working today.

And of course my Gameboy Advance SP has been dropped so many times that the casing is grey around the sides where the paint has chipped off from way too many impacts.

Gave my ds phat to my 2 year old niece to use. She's now 3 and knows how to play super mario mini games. Its been through a lot. Dropped couple time, hinge broken (fix using a nail as a pin guide). Touch screen does'nt have a scratch on it compare to my dslite.

NES missing the cartridge door.
SNES missing the cartridge slot cover thingy.
NES controllers with bite marks on them.

Tripped over the controller cable, yanked the Gamecube onto the floor. Terrible moment. Still works, though.

DS Phat fell in then toliet when I bent over to let down the toliet seat. I disassembled it and let it dry out for a day or so, put it bakc together and it lived!! Gamecube has been dropped so many times, the door broke off the hinge, but it's still alive lol.

About a month after I got my DS Phat (I still have it when it first came out) I tripped with it in my hand and it fell on a wooden chair and slid off onto the floor.

My DSONE and 8GB SDHC went through the wash the other day. $:-\$ The label is all wrinkled now but surprisingly my DSONE still works fine.

I've dropped my DS phat a few times onto cement, but I think the worst thing I can think of was one of my cousins actually pounding my SP onto the cement repeatedly before I knew about it. I actually don't remember what happened after, pretty sure it worked, but don't know where it went now...
