It took much less time to clean up than I thought it would, but it was still annoying and consumed a lot of paper towels. Best guess is that my mother didn't screw the lid on securely two days ago, my brother knocked it over in the wee hours after a few beers and before bed, and my mother didn't notice it this morning. Then again, my brother didn't notice it this afternoon either, even though he was in the kitchen before I cleaned it up. Odd, since it was awfully dramatic-looking.
