Many, I'm sure. :)
My husband's favorite comes from when I was pregnant. I don't even remember what I was making, but I turned the wrong burner on our brand new glass top stove, and melted a small appliance sitting on that apparently open spot of countertop - right over a burner we really never used.
The firemen came to our house (not for the first time) and set up giant fans to blow out the fumes while I went to my mother's, so that the baby wouldn't be affected.
We now only have one knob on our stove. If I want to use a second burner, I have to pull a knob out of a drawer.
My favorite recipe was from many years back when my father and I tried to make a recipe from his favorite restaurant for Turkey Poulette and ended up gluing my dog's mouth shut. The paper later printed a correction. Apparently they'd messed up the flour ratio, and ended up with library paste instead of sauce.
