<div class="IPBDescription">Inf takes no responsibility....</div> Yes before I go any futher, <b>I take no responsibility if you screw up your microwave</b>.... I don't think the NS forums do either.... do this at your own risk... you have been warned

Cool things to do with a microwave!

1.) Put an egg in the microwave and nuke it.... the egg will explode. (Stand back from the microwave, the door flew open on mine...)
2.) Wasted burnt CD? Nuke it for a few seconds! sizzle sizzle sizzle. Pretty patterns!
3.) Just learnt this one a few moments ago. Put a lightbulb in a glass of water and nuke it..... it lights up.... I took it out of the microwave before anything blew up though.... so I dunno how long you can leave it in there.

Anyone else got cool stuff to do with your microwave?

    If you cut a grape in half but leave a bit of skin connecting the two halves, place it face down in the microwave, nuke it, and the bit of skin sets on fire for some reason. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    speaking of grapes, if you peel them and put em in the micro, they dance! you can have grape races...

    edit: I think I remembered it wrong. you don't peel them, but rather pour some oil on the bottom of the microwave...

    I heard if you put some instant coffee in a microwave, you could go back in time.

    I never did get that joke...Steven Wright has kept me up at night trying to figure it out. Nope.


    That cd thing is real cool, I've put lightbulbs in too, not in water though. Did anyone see that episode of mythbusters where they did the experiments involving a microwave. They made you THINK they were gonna put a dog in, and then no, they didn't.

    Ketchup packets!!!

    Go to 7-11 and stuff a handfull in and fire up the microwave and watch. Just be sure to leave after you're done. Fast.

    Maybe it's one of those "love-in-a-canoe-coffee" type euphamisms - you have to be told.

    Be careful doing any experiments using your microwave, if the experiment is going to result in sparks/electricity it could shorten the life of your magnatron, the thing that cooks the food.

    Anyhow...

    1. Take 3 bottle caps, small bowl, candle, and several matches.
    2. Light matches, let them burn a bit, then blow them out when they get to 1/2.
    3. Stick the matches around the candle, into the wax.
    4. Put the candle in the microwave and light it.
    5. Put the 3 bottle caps in a triangle around the candle, then put the bowl over it, making sure the bowl is resting on the caps.
    6. Put a glass of water in there, will lessen the harm to the magnatron.

    Its important the bowl is somehow suspended a bit off the bottom of the microwave. After about 5-10 seconds you will see some cool orangish lightning arcing off the candle into the matches.

    Instant coffee -> saves time.

    Microwave -> saves time.

    Combine both and you save so much time you end up going backwards. Or, if you want it math style

    1 time to make coffee
    .75 time saved with instant coffee
    .75 time saved by nuking coffee (If you really wanted to you could I guess)

    1-.75-.75=-.5

    You've gone back .5. Congrats.

    [Yes, before you ask, I am really bored.]
