that burning fruitfly maggots smell not entirely unlike barbecue or popcorn

How odd for something named Drosophilia Watermelanogaster.

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.

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?
No grapes??? by harrkev · 2003-09-22 05:54 · Score: 4, Interesting

They did not mention my favorite (and easy to do at work).

Take a grape and cut it ALMOST is half (both halves still connected by skin). Put the two halves down on a plate (wet side down). Microwave until you see sparks and fire between the two halves.

This is almost as fun as the electric pickle, but with only one-tenth the smell.
