DVDs tend to do that, too. If you bend them just right, you can separate 
the layers without breaking the plastic.

I'll never forget one time I was pissed off at a failed burn. (Screen 
saver took over, the buffer wasn't big enough to compensate; Funny, 
after that I turn screen savers off when I'm burning disks) I grabbed 
the disk from the tray like normal (Index finger in hole, thumb and last 
finger on the edges) and squeezed hard. Stupid thing shattered, driving 
a few shards into my hand ;) I learned not to take my frustrations out 
on CDs in that fashion.
