Haha, yeah, can't say I've been much nicer to mine and it hasn't broken yet (cross fingers?). It doesn't look like a stress fracture (as I've seen in other diffs that my brother has destroyed), generally a stress fracture tends to branch out too.

If you have a vibration/sound that is load dependant, I would suspect the driveshaft.
That's a very cool break!
I scrambled the spyder gears in an open N/A rear end in highschool. Hit a curb sideways going about 35mph in the snow. Thing started to sound like a jet engine in the rear end.
Opened the drain plug, and whala! JACK FACTORY!!!!
Needless to say it was towed to a shop at that point.
Coming from off-roading i get my kicks seeing catastrophic drivetrain failure.
