Mikrowelle, Feuerstelle


Forgot to tell this funny story, about a friend of mine *heheee*
The title refers to it, inspired by another friend's saying.
M. is a nice, very funny, nearly lanky and cool guy. Only, he sometimes has... occurences. Like last week, when he burned two bread rolls into coal and ashes! In the microwave!

Ha, he did! He accidently put it on 20 mins instead of secs, and when he came out of the shower, everything was full of smoke. Jeez, when I visited him on friday, it was still smelling of it! Another day he wanted to make an instant noodle dish, one of those where you just add water. Think nothing can go wrong? He managed to overdose the water.
But he's a good buddy, and I just remember not to use the microwave when I visit him. Why that now? Because he tried to clean it by scrubbing the inside with a steel sponge! A microwave! So he scrubbed the inside thoroughly until he started doubting the goodness of his actions, and then he switched it on. Sparks were visible inside and soon smoke began streaming out of the holes where the coil is. What happened was that the tiny metal particles that he created while scrubbing went into the coil and started messing things up. You know there's a reason they advise you not to put metal into the microwave. Apparently he took the whole thing apart, cleaned it and now it's fine again. Only, i don't trust it. I think M. has a truly risky lifestyle!

Another harmless association to this: Found on the internet in a science project for school, if you cut a grape in half so it's only connected by a tiny thin piece of grape skin, and you put it down on the cut surfaces and switch the microwave on, the skin part bursts into a little flame. Anyone game to try? Gimme a report if you do :)
