How did GOD Shiva get his 3rd eye?:

Source: Shiv puran

In a battle with Gods (Devtas), Tarakasur gathered the most destructive things in Brahmand(Universe) and made a Linear weapon out of the same. He wanted it to us it on Earth to destroy it to prevent Lord Shiva to establish the 51 Shakti-peeths formed out of the limbs of Sati fallen on Earth to prevent the Devtas getting power from there. When Lord Shiva came to know by his intituion about the plans of Tarakasur, he imbibed or absorbed the weapon in the same way as he had done with Poison or Vish at the time of Great Ocean Churning (Samudra-manthan). He could have very well thrown the weapon anywhere in universe but then that would have meant total destruction of that part of universe, th weapon being meant for heavy destyruction. Hence to avoid that destruction, Lord Shiva abosrbed it in his body and it formed the 3rd eye, the eye of destruction. From then it is opened by Lord Shiva only when he wants to totally destruct anybody (e.g., Kamadev, the God of Sex) or anything (say Universe at the end of all 4 yugas).
