My passanger side window just exploded two days ago when I was driving down the highway. Glass everywhere. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Well yeah, but it was usually caused by a kicked up stone or whatever or a gunshot. My guess is that you living in New Hampshire and with the heather on full blast, it was probably heat/ cold stress on a defective window.

Thought about the gun shot and the rock, but didn't see a sign of either (and was told by someone whose car was shot that a bullet hole would be small and then spider instead of shattering the whole thing??). The defective window was my hunch too and the weather changed alot on the ride (warm to freezing in a few hours). thanks for your thoughts!

Yes, this can happen from internal stress in the glass, it happended on my friend's Honda a few years ago. His dealer replaced it for free.
