This one wasn't actually my fault, but one of the infamous bugs caused by 1.4/1.6, I can't remember which. I was digging away with my diamond gear, turned around and creeper! boom. No problem, I can get back there quick enough, I'll just pick up my items and... WHY DID MY DIAMOND PICK BREAK?!
Turned out there was a bug where if you "dropped" an item, it would only be good for one more hit after that.
