    And I thought puting metal objects in the microwave was the only way to have fun. That and my sister's new kitten.......

      Ahh yes, that reminds me of the time that I discovered that a kitten makes a poor antenna for an 802.11b connection, unless you need a vaguely kitty-shaped coverage footprint.

    that burning fruitfly maggots smell not entirely unlike barbecue or popcorn

    How odd for something named Drosophilia Watermelanogaster.

    I'm a professional electrical engineer. I know enough physics and RF effects to take correct safety precautions when I'm experimenting.

    How many times have we heard these words just before the loud ZAP! and inevitable flesh burning smell?

  4. This Reminds Me of a Story... by Gothic_Walrus · · Score: 3, Funny
    In a hotel trip for FIRST Robotics, some of my friends got the brilliant idea to microwave a CD.

    The aftermath? A charred CD in the garbage can, stinking up our hotel floor. Their microwave, soaking in their bathtub (supposedly to douse the flames).

    Moral of the story? Microwaves are fun, but be careful what you put in them.
