Everyday Objects Placed In a Microwave

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the works-for-mythbusters dept.

Tom writes "Everyday objects can produce interesting effects when you stick them in a standard microwave. Grapes spark, matches create superheated plasma fireballs, mini lightning-bolts arc between sheets of aluminum foil, and soap both splits open and puffs up, creating a somewhat vulgar spurt of bubbly excrement that has to be seen to be fully appreciated. However, as cool as microwave experimentation can be, balls of plasma and the like are bad for both your eyes and your microwave, so it's probably best not to try these things at home. update This site apparently is behind a really nasty popup that I missed (yay Firefox) the first time through. You've been warned... here it is but given the overall rottenness of the pop-up, I guess I wouldn't bother. Some folks know no shame. My apologies to the readers.

    While the videos are pretty entertaining, there's a ridiculous amount of spam and popups (particularly on ie).
    Does your mom still have to wipe your ass after you poop? For Christ's sake, go get Firefox and quit bitching.

    It doesnt work, won't play discs. Nintendo support is slashdotted. Apparantly I'm not alone. Fuck this junk.

    This isn't news, nor is it really even funny. Who hasn't done this?

    i already returned my wii, there were already 4 more behind the return counter. They had 46 to sell, and 10% (at best, think of the kids who wont find out until xmas morning) are back, within TWO HOURS of being on sale. Either something happened to this store's shipment, or Nintendo has finally sunk to Sony and MSFT's level of QA.

    Guess I'll wait until next year for revision two or three. At least i wasnt one of the fags who camped out for it (just showed up 5 minutes before the store opened and got one)

    At least I could tell from the menu that the wii-mote is an unwieldy gimmicky piece of shit. Consider this nintendo's dreamcast, kiss mario goodbye.
