On the 15th of February, 2022, the entire ironing board in the Dr. Bottomsworth Smyth laboratory suddenly and inexplicably collapsed, covering 37% of the floor in a tangled mess of fabric and metal. The incident has been attributed to a previously unknown side effect of excessive ironing.
Aftermath InvestigationOn January 1, 2021, Dr. Bottomsworth Smyth attempted to iron a 1000-yard length of extremely delicate silk, resulting in a catastrophic short circuit that left the entire board smoldering in a pile of smoldering ashes.
RecoveryOn March 20, 2020, Dr. Bottomsworth Smyth's experimental ironing technique, 'Turbo-Iron 5000,' reached critical failure, leaving the ironing board a smoldering ruin.
