I fail to understand how anyone can inadvertantly fly into IMC from VFR.
Flying along just below the cloud base, look inside for a few seconds to fiddle with maps/paperwork/radios/whatever (I don't remember which it was), look up and I'm inside apparently solid cloud.

No big deal as I have the IR(R) and had planned for IFR navigation anyway, just in case I needed it, and to be fair I wasn't trying desperately hard to avoid IMC because I knew it would be no big deal.

It was nonetheless a slight surprise.
