I always keep a couple of extra batteries in my pocket in case my wiimote dies. While playing COD reflex with a pocket full of batteries and change, I noticed a slight warm and tingly sensation on my leg. Since I was in the heat of battle I didn't pay much attention to it.
By the time the game ended the heat was getting more intense so I stuck my hand in my pocket to see what was going on. The batteries had some how managed to get some current flowing by interacting with themselves and the change. Everything was so hot that the casing on one of the batteries had melted and I got a slight burn on my hand.
I quickly removed my pants and got my pajamas on in time for the next game.
