    What this guy does is measuring the speed of microwaves, not light. In any case, if it needs 2 minutes to melt some chocolate, that's not very fast.

    To the Canadian AC: The right to own guns did not kill this child, it was a stupid parent. I own 2 handguns and 3 hunting rifles. My child could not get to these, and the are in a 700 lb gun safe. However, our judicial system does need to start punishing these stupid parents who just leave guns laying around everywhere.
