      You can probably just use the server after we're done with it... that should cook just about anything.

    "Tubby" sounds like what will happen to the user of this as a result of grabbing food all the time without even getting up off his ass and walking 10 feet to the refrigerator.

    I'd expand on the idea. Add a sink and oven, maybe a bed and bathroom, oh and a home theater. That'd be really cool! You'd have to put it in a much larger wooden case though.

    Let's see, what should we call the project...

    How about...

    a house.
