This is one of your best.
Sometimes I rattle the cage and beat my head uselessly against its bars, but sometimes, I can shake one loose and use it as a dildo.

Quite honestly I cannot tel if this is fiction or whether you really did all this.
I would call that alone a true win.
I do a lot of stupid shit these days.
That should be written on a sign posted outside Earth
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Crazification_factorQuoteCrazification factor is a neologism coined by blogger John Rogers to refer to the portion of the electorate comprising the nuttiest of the wingnuts and the batshit crazy. In Rogers' words:Quote“”Obama vs. Alan Keyes. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But 27% of the population of Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That's crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.[1]
Thus, people in this category are called the "27 percenters." Perhaps the greatest confirmation of the existence of said factor in the last decade can be found in a 2003 poll of Russian attitudes toward Josef Stalin in which 36% thought he was a pretty cool dude.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/110806/bushs-approval-rating-drops-new-low-27.aspxQuoteAccording to a Sept. 26-27 USA Today/Gallup poll, just 27% of Americans approve of the job George W. Bush is doing as president, the lowest rating of his presidency.
And just today:

I figured you could sparge noodles.
Put it in a Pyrex sphere with water and no remaining air space, superheat the sphere with ether, and the water can't boil because of the pressure, so it just migrates into the ramen. It worked, too. 15 second ramen.
Then the Pyrex went bang at about 15 atmospheres of pressure, squashed my face shield up against my googles, causing me to swallow most of my left front tooth. Also some mild flash burns & concert ears.
I call it a partial success. It would have been a complete success if I knew where the ramen wound up. Not in my yard, anyway.
I am reasonably sure that the chlorine in the water came unglued into O2, adding vapor, which could expand and you'd only need the Pyrex to have uneven pressure for a fraction of a second.
That is, frankly, entirely awesome.
Are you going to try again, maybe with a sturdier pressure vessel?
Is it possible that outgassing from the ramen is part of the problem? I'm not sure if that term applies to non-vacuum environments, but I'd think the ramen might have some air dissolved or trapped in it, and of course the ramen itself has dozens of little nucleation points.
Yeah, happened to me back in about November. I got lucky and am unscathed. I treat ramen with due respect these days. Was it the semi-fancy Nongshim stuff that got you, too?
FTR, I'm not riffing or joking, I'm glad you're mostly okay because I have genuinely seen this happen firsthand (at a fair distance).
Naw, I'm fine with it.
I mean, okay, I tried something new and it WORKED but then it exploded. This is better than when I cut off a chunk of my ear prepping burgers, because I was at least successful.
Well, after a fashion. I have no idea where the ramen wound up.
Tried something.
What did you try?
I saw the picture on Facebook! How's the (lack of) tooth feeling?
